Error Doctor 2009

As a rogue anti-malware program, Error Doctor 2009 may claim to 'instantly repair PC errors,' but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found that Error Doctor 2009 has no ability to detect or fix any of the threats that Error Doctor 2009 claims to be able to combat. Just the latest in a line of scamware programs that have spanned several years so far, Error Doctor 2009 uses standard tricks – such as fraudulent system scans and warning messages – to make you think that spending money on Error Doctor 2009 is necessary to fix your PC. This is, naturally, to be discouraged, since Error Doctor 2009 will spend your money on a valueless program and may not even stop Error Doctor 2009's attacks. Instead of throwing good money after bad, you should consider removing Error Doctor 2009 with a real anti-malware application.

A History of Error Doctor 2009's Fake PC Diagnoses

Error Doctor 2009 is originally-derived from Error Doctor 2006 and has seen at least two intermediary programs (such as Error Doctor 2007 and Error Doctor 2008) before being noted in its 2009 version. All versions of the ErrorDoctor program should be considered identically-malicious and harmful for your PC, however, including Error Doctor 2009. Rogue security programs from within the Error Doctor 2009 family are most well-known for their fake diagnostic information, which can include:

• Pop-ups about infections with regards to programs that actually are uninfected.
• Pop-ups about keyloggers, Trojans, rootkits, worms, spyware and other types of severe PC threats that aren't on your computer.
• System scans that finish with unrealistic rapidity and depict large amounts of infected or otherwise-damaged results.

This fake information is used to make it appear like buying Error Doctor 2009 is the right way to cure these problems; however, since Error Doctor 2009 is the cause of these errors and has no beneficial functions, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers don't recommend spending money on an Error Doctor 2009 activation key.

Saving Your PC from Error Doctor 2009's Hacksaw Surgery

As long as you avoid malicious sites, keep your security settings tight and use an up-to-date anti-malware application, your PC should have little risk of being attacked by Error Doctor 2009. However, if you do find Error Doctor 2009 on your PC, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend the following methods for deactivation and removal of Error Doctor 2009 with perfect safety:

• Rebooting your PC in Safe Mode (by tapping F8 before Windows loads and accessing Safe Mode from the relevant menu). In most cases, this will stop Error Doctor 2009 from launching itself.
• If Error Doctor 2009 remains active, you may need to rename your anti-malware program's .exe file to work around its program blacklist. Renaming the .exe file to a generic name like 'explorer.exe' or 'winlogin.exe' will get around any blockade attempts by Error Doctor 2009 or related infections.
• After this is done, you can scan your PC with your anti-malware product of choice for the removal of Error Doctor 2009 and any infections that may have accompanied Error Doctor 2009 (such as dropper Trojans). Manually deleting Error Doctor 2009 without assistance is generally discouraged if other options are available, since it risks damaging Windows components such as the Registry that will need to be purged of Error Doctor 2009's infection.

Until you've taken these steps, Error Doctor 2009 may also endanger your PC with browser redirect attacks or software-blocking behavior that prevents you from using other programs.
