Do you know what is Antimalware Doctor?

Antimalware Doctor is a rogue anti-spyware application, alternatively put: a fake spyware remover. So, it is safe to assume that Antimalware Doctor is simply a duplicate of those noxious spyware removers. Usually, the system is infected with Antimalware Doctor without the user’s knowledge or permission. The infection will enter into the system via a Trojan application or a security exploit. These dangerous applications enter the system via security exploits, spam e-mails or fake online anti-virus scanners. Once installed and active, Antimalware Doctor performs fake system scan and generates fallacious alert messages or fake scan reports, informing that system is seriously infected.

In non-techie terms:

Victims of this rogue should know that all those infections were fabricated. For infections removal, user is advertised to buy a full copy of Antimalware Doctor, because trial version has several limitations. The truth is that Antimalware Doctor only mimics real anti-spyware applications, so it is unable to detect or remove any kind of infections. Full version of Antimalware Doctor doesn’t even exist. Instead of buy this worthless application; remove it from the system as soon as possible after first appearance.
