How to remove Virus Doctor Freeware?
What is Virus Doctor Freeware?
Virus Doctor Freeware is a new rogue anti-spyware program, a fake spyware remover, which uses intimidation to trick the user into purchasing it’s "licensed version" (despite the name indicating that it’s free). This parasite usually enters the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, which disguise themselves as Video ActiveX codecs.
Once inside and active Virus Doctor Freeware 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 is likely true, since getting infected with Virus Doctor Freeware requires a certain degree of carelessness, this parasite has neither the ability to detect nor remove them. Much like any other rogue, Virus Doctor Freeware will also try to fool the user by producing falsified system scan reports, and by redirecting the browser to malicious websites, thus making it more annoying and dangerous.
VirusDoctor-Online.com, the home of this parasite, will greet the user with a message that the PC has multiple infections, and that a scan is going to be performed. It is otherwise no different than any other rogue website: no useful content and no contact details.
Virus Doctor Freeware is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
