DiskClean description
DiskClean is a rogue anti-spyware application which pretends being legitimate computer security tool. Malware spreads via trojan horse which enters the system through its vulnerabilities. DiskClean downloads and installs itself automatically without user‘s knowledge and consent. I is also a lone of malicious AdCare and ResetInfo programs.
Once active it acts like legal computer security tool and starts to scan PC. The parasite displays numerous pop-ups stating about computer infections. This is a scam and none of the information should be trusted. It tries to trick user into believing their PC is severely compromised and all viruses have to be cleaned with its “licensed” version.
This is a fraud because malware can’t detect or terminate viruses onto computer therefore they don’t even exist. However, DiskClean may redirect your browser to counterfeit websites that sell the program. Avoid purchasing it because it can cause you serious problems. Choose decent anti-spyware application and delete DiskClean upon detection.
