Malware Doctor also known as Malware Doc is a typical rogue security tool. Malware Doctor tends to offer computer security services for a certain fee. However, Malware Doctor is not a real anti-spyware application, this rogue only mimics reliable security tools. Malware Doctor enters the system without user's permission and knowledge usually through the use of trojan Vundo. The main goal of this parasite is to promote paid version of Malware Doctor.

Once MalwareDoctor is installed and active, it performs fake system scan and reports various bogus results, mainly to inform the user that his computer is seriously infected with malware, spyware and other parasites. Thereupon, the rogue offers to buy a full version of Malware Doctor. Nevertheless, Malware Doctor won't be able to remove those infections, simply because it wasn't designed to do so. What is more, it will then continue to perform misleading actions once more. Needless to say that Malware Doctor should be removed form the system at the earliest stage. Removal delay will only worsen the situation, so please use Malware Doctor removal guide stated below and remove this parasite as soon as possible.
