How to remove Malware Removal Bot
Title: Malware Removal Bot
Also Known as: MalwareRemovalBOT
Severity scale:
Malware Removal Bot is a rogue security application that has a lot of people fooled. It tricks people into believing that it is a legitimate malware removal tool, but in reality, it is completely useless and will not help. In fact, it will actually hinder whatever computer it has infected. The side effects of Malware Removal Bot infection are pop-up ads, change in browser settings, a slower computer, slower Internet connection, and possibly the additional download of other malware.
Malware Removal Bot usually infects a computer through a Trojan that has already infected a computer, though it can be manually downloaded as well. Once Malware Removal Bot has infected a system, it will generate pop-up warnings and initiate a phony system scan. The scan will yield false results claiming that the computer is overrun with malware in an attempt to scare the user into purchasing the “full version” of its program. However, the full version of Malware Removal Bot is completely impotent when it comes to protecting a computer.
