Technically Windows Abnormality Checker has been classified by security experts as a rogue anti-spyware program, or one that mimics legitimate antispyware apps on the PC software market. Windows Abnormality Checker is rather convincing in its colorful interface and among its deceitful pop-up warnings. Usually these warning messages are rendered at random in an attempt to gain a PC users trust in discovering malware on a system. In reality, the Windows Abnormality Checker pop-ups and system scan results are fabricated. Ultimately, Windows Abnormality Checker renders these messages to persuade PC users to buy the Windows Abnormality Checker program. Buying would supposedly enable Windows Abnormality Checker to remove the detected malware. Unfortunately, buying Windows Abnormality Checker will not do such a thing.
