Title: Malware Cleaner	Also known as: MalwareCleaner
Type: Spyware	Severity scale: (67 / 100)

Malware Cleaner is a fake security software, rogue anti-spyware application. It infects computers through the use of Trojans when users visit various malicious websites. Malware Cleaner is advertised as reliable anti-spyware program, that can easily remove various infections and ensure full system protection. Nevertheless, Malware Cleaner is a scam. It only looks like a legitimate software. Actually, this parasite was designed to compromise system security and to offer ineffective paid removal services.

Once MalwareCleaner is installed and active, it runs fake system scan and reports bogus results, to inform the user that his computer is infected with spyware, malware and other parasites. The rogue also displays fake security notifications. These notifications are very similar to Microsoft's Windows Security Center alerts, so the user can be easily confused. Malware Cleaner then suggest to purchase the software in order to remove those infections. But as you could already understand, MalwareCleaner cannot remove any infections. It only steals money from inexperienced users. That's why we strongly recommend you to use removal instructions stated below and to remove Malware Cleaner from the system immediately after detection.
