Severity scale:

(81 / 100)

ErrorKiller is a rogue registry cleaner - a fake registry cleaner utility, which fashions itself to be a legitimate program. This scam is in no way out of the ordinary and works exactly the same as most rogues do: it infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, and uses scare tactics (most commonly - popups and fake system notifications) to convince the user that he has errors in his registry, which can best be removed using the "licensed version" of ErrorKiller.

ErrorKiller has a nice website and even live support. The latter I tried talking to, but the person was firm in denying my accusations. ErrorKiller is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block ErrorKiller.com using your HOSTS file.
