PCAntiMalware Description:
PCAntiMalware (also known as PC AntiMalware) is a rogue anti-spyware utility that claims to detect computer infections but only misinforms PC users in fact. Similarly to other rogue anti-spywares of its species ( Cleaner2009, AntiMalwareSuite ), PCAntiMalware is advertised through Zlob or Vundo Trojans which challenge the computer security and get inside using backdoor techniques, i.e. without you knowledge and any authorization. These Trojan trespassers issue exaggerated popup alerts or system tray notifications that aim to alarm you about malware resident on your computer. If you click on such popup warnings (even to close them), you will automatically trigger the procedure of PCAntiMalware freeware installation. This trial version of PCAntiMalware will then flood your system with its fake scanners and more of those bogus popup alerts that report multiple infections on your machine. Then, as a tool for exterminating the detected threats, PCAntiMalware will offer its services, but before that you will have to purchase its license for about $50. It’s strongly recommended to refrain from buying PCAntiMalware, otherwise your computer problems will keep aggravating and may end up with complete system collapse. It’s advised to remove PCAntiMalware ASAP if detected on your computer.
