How to remove System Tuner?
What is System Tuner?
System Tuner is a new rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob to enter the system. The trojans are usually disguised as codecs, and found at porn/warez websites. System Tuner relies on disinformation to trick the user into purchasin it’s "licensed version".
Once inside and active, System Tuner will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may coincidentally be true, System Tuner has neither the ability to detect or remove any of the aforementioned threats. System Tuner will also try to reassure it’s claims by executing fake system scans, which produce falsified and greatly exaggerated reports.
System Tuner is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
