PC AntiMalware - How to remove April 28, 2009 By 2-viruses authors PC AntiMalware is a rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses misleading information as a means to trick the user into purchasing it’s “full version”. This parasite typically enters the system by using the Zlob trojan, which is usually disguised as a Video ActiveX codec and found on various websites on the net. Upon entering the system, PC AntiMalware will unleash it’s arsenal upon the user. This includes a flood of popups and fake system notifications, claiming that the user is infected and in need of an anti-spyware program. It will also imply, that PC AntiMalware is best for the job. As proof (if you can call it that), PC AntiMalware will perform a fake system scan, which will return an exaggerated or altogether false report, oftentimes including false positives. Much like any other rogue, PC AntiMalware hijacks the browser and significantly slows down the system. PC AntiMalware is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
