TZ System Cleanser cannot and will not legitimately detect or remove spyware, adware or any other type of malware. TZ SystemCleanser may come from the trackzapper.com/cleanser website which is the same domain that Track Zapper can be downloaded from. It is highly advisable to avoid visiting the domain trackzapper.com.
