SystemDoctor Description

SystemDoctor, a ErrorSafe clone, is a rogue registry cleaner designed to fix errors in your system, but once installed it pops up exaggerated security threats to trick you into purchasing the SystemDoctor 2006 repair/maintenance application.

Since SystemDoctor installs different variants on your hard drive, SystemDoctor Spyware can prove difficult to remove manually.
