Drivecleaner Only Pretends To Serve A Legitimate Purpose

DriveCleaner is cleverly devised malicious software that closely mimics the actions of rogue anti-spyware.  If you know what a rogue anti-spyware program is, then you know its purpose is to convince you it serves a positive purpose by protecting and cleaning your computer up from virus attacks, tries to intimidate you into paying for it, by creating a misleading scan that shows you need it, and then once you purchase itself sinks its teeth into your system in a much more serious hardcore virus attack which can alter your entire computer leading to its eventual crash.

DriveCleaner only derails a little from a rogue anti-spyware program in the way it entices you to download its poisonous full version onto your computer.  DriveCleaner promises users that will clean your cookies and other adult site information details that may be left behind in your system that clogs up your programming abilities.  There are two major problems with the marketing, although what many people here is that it simply deletes the proof they were ever visiting adult entertainment sites.  One problem is if you do enjoy adult entertainment sites, there are free ways you yourself can erase your cookies and other signs of proof, so why would you purchase the DriveCleaner and two that if you don’t surf porn, why would you be want a service like this?  Yet because of its great wholesome advertisements, many people fall prey to it.

The way in which DriveCleaner gets onto your computer in the first place is similar to the exact same way that a rogue anti-spyware program does, they slip through a backdoor security hazard that your anti-virus failed to catch on top of a Trojan virus because you have either not renewed your subscription or have not updated it, and then immediately afterwards pop-ups start appearing telling you that you have viruses caused by porn site access that need to be addressed, and that DriveCleaner is the best and only way to effectively do so.  Once you make the common mistake of believing the deceptive pop-ups, you purchase the software which is not helpful, but actually allowing the rogue anti-spyware program to gain complete access to your computer and download more malicious malware and viruses that have taken control of your system and will bring about its demise if left untreated.  In simple terms, you have paid the DriveCleaner program to grow and bring in more destructive viruses that will ruin your entire system.

The only way to combat the damage that DriveCleaner has caused is to purchase and run a legitimate anti-software program such as SpyZooka to locate the damaged files that DriveCleaner operates and runs from and then completely remove the entire rogue anti-spyware program from your computer.  Don’t bother to try to use the Add/Remove option, as DriveCleaner will have already protected itself from that option.  After you successfully removed DriveCleaner off your computer using SpyZooka, you need to run an updated anti-virus program to seal the hole that allowed DriveCleaner in so it cannot reenter.
