PCAntiMalware

PCAntiMalware (PC AntiMalware) is a rogue anti-spyware application. It is very possible that PCAntiMalware was created by the same group of people that advertise and spread Cleaner 2009 and AntiMalwareSuite rogue anti-spyware programs.

PCAntiMalware, just like other rogues, uses scamming tactics to extort money from computer users. PCAntiMalware uses fake popup messages, warning alerts and fake system scans to scare users into purchasing PCAntiMalware. Do not ever fall for these tricks. Do not purchase PCAntiMalware. Instead, it is best to remove PCAntiMalware completely from your system.
