MalwareCore Description

Spyware Image
MalwareCore is a rogue anti-spyware application advertised by allsecuritypage.com. This program is usually brought into your system by a Trojan called Zlob bundled in a fake video codec. First, the Trojan installs itself secretly onto your machine, then it enables MalwareCore to perform a scan that will only consume your computer's processing power. After the scan is performed, MalwareCore will generate exaggerated notifications of non-existent threats that can only be fixed by the "full version" of the program. It is strongly advised NOT to trust MalwareCore, since it is a tool for malicious attackers to profit from unsuspecting computer users. Immediate removal of MalwareCore is strongly recommended.

The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall MalwareCore by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden MalwareCore files, it's possible that MalwareCore will reappear after reboot. Follow the MalwareCore detection and removal methods below.
