Severity scale:
Malwarecatcher is one of many rogue security applications out there trying to scam people. It usually infects computers through Trojan horse programs, though it is possible to download it manually. Once it has infected a computer, the user will start to receive security warning messages telling them that their system has been overrun with malware. It will then offer to scan the computer.
The scan that Malwarecatcher performs is completely fraudulent. The results are equally fake. These false results are used as a scare tactic to pressure the infected user into paying for the full version of Malwarecatcher. The user is told that it will help them with their malware problem. Instead, it will hinder their computer’s performance and slow their Internet connection.
