Do you know what MalwareCore is?

DESCRIPTION

MalwareCore or MalwareCore v.3.7 is a recent clone of the malicious MalwareBurn rogue anti-spyware program. MalwareCore may slip into a users system through a Trojan infection from a downloaded video codec or P2P website. MalwareCore may generate multiple popups annoying any computer user trying to surf the web. MalwareCore’s alert messages usually tell users that they are infected with a parasite. This is only a scare tactic and it is not wise for anyone to click on any fake popup messages that MalwareCore generates.

In non-techie terms: MalwareCore is not a legitimate spyware removal tool. MalwareCore, like many other rogue anti-spyware programs, is designed to use illicit tactics to extort money from you. MalwareCore may prompt users to purchase a full version of the MalwareCore program. The website allsecuritypage.com may promote MalwareCore as a good working spyware removal tool. MalwareCore or MalwareCore v.3.7 is not a good spyware removal tool. Do not under any circumstances download or purchase MalwareCore.

Aliases: Malware Core, MalwareCore v.3.7
