AdvancedCleaner
AdvancedCleaner is a rogue anti-spyware parasite that installs itself into your computer via trojans and web browser security exploits. Once inside, AdvancedCleaner starts to generate large amounts of security pop-ups that claim that your system has been infected by spyware, or that your computer contains traces of browsing history of sites with adult content.
You are then offered a fake scan of your computer. Regardless of what’s in your hard drive, this counterfeit scan will always find non-existent errors or threats to your security. After you see the scan report, AdvancedCleaner will offer you to buy its full version.
