ScreenshotAdwareRemover2007 is a rogue spyware removal tool that is often downloaded onto your machine by a Trojan Zlob, through browser security exploits and under other dubious circumstances. Once the Trojan program is executed, it will bombard you with hundreds of fake warning messages alerting that your system is infected with Spyware and prompting to install AdwareRemover2007.

The warning messages may look as following: "Your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with Viruses, Adware or Spyware. AdwareRemover2007 will perform a quick and completely FREE scan of your system for malicious programs. Download AdwareRemover2007 for FREE now!" If you click cancel on this message, your system will still be scanned automatically and AdwareRemover2007 will display fake scan results and show the message: "Security Status: System is infected, Protection level is critically low." Again, there will be a button offering to download AdwareRemover2007 for FREE in order to fix all system errors.

However, if you download AdwareRemover2007 manually, it will prompt you to purchase its full commercial version to remove all non-existent threats. In addition, AdwareRemover2007 may cause a sluggish performance of your computer and the immediate removal of AdwareRemover2007 is recommended.
