ContentEraser Description:

What are your primary criteria for security programs for your computer? We are sure that you’ll know your answer after reading about ContentEraser (AKA Content Eraser). It is the latest rogue security defender that simulates privacy violations. Just like other fake security applications, ContentEraser installs itself without your knowledge and consent using a trojan horse. Most often this occurs when you are surfing the web and visit adult websites. Once installed, it loads itself upon every boot up and causes your computer to display system errors, and spawns multiple annoying popup windows. Furthermore, ContentEraser compromises your privacy by tracking your online and offline computer activities and then sending this personal private data to their remote servers. ContentEraser will coerce people into purchasing its ‘licensed’ software by producing fake privacy threats that are meant to alarm the user. We recommend to remove ContentEraser as soon as possible.
