Removal Instructions for ErrorSweeper
Title: ErrorSweeper
Also Known as: ErrorSweeper, Error Sweeper
Severity scale:
To get straight to the point, ErrorSweeper is a scam. It is a rogue registry cleaner that has fooled many people into spending their money on a useless product. Though this rogue delivers many warnings about errors in the registry, they are all false. When it performs its phony scans, the results it presents are completely fabricated.
Though ErrorSweeper can sneak onto computers through Trojan horse applications and through malicious websites, people usually willingly download its trial version. There are some websites that promote this rogue with lies and half-truths. Once it has infected a computer and performed a fraudulent scan, it will tell the user that the errors it found can only be fixed if they pay for the full version.
If you have downloaded this rogue without realizing it was malicious, or if it infected your computer secretly, you should remove it as soon as possible.
