How to remove Threat Nuker?
What is Threat Nuker?
Threat Nuker is a brave name for any anti-spyware program, let alone a fake one, which is precisely what this nasty application is. Threat Nuker usually makes it’s way to the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo. It relies on disinformation to trick the user into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.
Once inside and active, Threat Nuker 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 can coincidentally be true, Threat Nuker has neither the ability to detect nor remove spyware, and should therefore be disregarded. Threat Nuker will also perform fake system scans, which produce exaggerated reports.
Threat Nuker is a threat and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

Manual Threat Nuker removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove Threat Nuker, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

Threat Nuker is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Threat Nuker can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Threat Nuker trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Threat Nuker offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Threat Nuker does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Threat Nuker, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Threat Nuker, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Threat Nuker, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
