MalwareBell Removal Process (remove MalwareBell or Malware Bell 3.2)

April 13, 2008 – 11:26 am

Malware Bell Explanation

MalwareBell, or sometimes referred to as Malware Bell 3.2, is one of the most recent rogue anti-spyware programs to install onto computers from the internet or a Trojan infection. MalwareBell does not remove malware as it claims. MalwareBell is promoted and sold on MalwareBell.com which may look like a professional website that sells a malware tool. MalwareBell.com is part of a malicious scheme developed by hackers to take your money. It almost seems as if MalwareBell will ring your bell asking for your money in return for a useless program.

MalwareBell.com has a falsely registered domain for the payment processing. MalwareBell.com’s payment domain has the name “Domain Admin” as the registrar which further supports the fact that MalwareBell.com is not legitimate. MalwareBell and the MalwareBell.com website should be avoided by any computer users. It is highly suggested that you do not ever purchase or download the MalwareBell program. Computer users are urged to avoid visiting the MalwareBell.com website as it poses a serious threat to your security.

The creators of Malware Bell made a stupid mistake because the image above shows where they classify PCTools as being adware and a variant of Trojan.Win32.SystemCrash. We know with a certainty that Trojan.Win32.SystemCrash is an actual Trojan but PCTools is a company that develops software. This supports the fact that Malware Bell is a piece of garbage.
