Galileo System Cleaner

Galileo System Cleaner Description

Galileo System Cleaner is a close relative of Great Antispy 2012, a previously-confirmed example of rogue anti-spyware software. Like Great Antispy 2012, Galileo System Cleaner displays pop-up alerts that use real threat names but fail to detect the presence or lack of such threats accurately, along with equally-worthless system scans that are preconfigured to return poor results every time. Even though Galileo System Cleaner would like these excuses to be an acceptable motive to purchase Galileo System Cleaner, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts advise differently – and recommend that you remove Galileo System Cleaner with a legitimate anti-malware program, since Galileo System Cleaner is, itself, a minor danger to your computer’s security.

Galileo System Cleaner: a Historically Bad Idea for PC Safety

While SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have verified that Galileo System Cleaner has no meaningful ability to find or delete any type of malware or other PC threat, Galileo System Cleaner’s deficiency is covered up by its ability to display fake security information. Galileo System Cleaner’s scans always will display a range of different spyware-related PC threats (similar to Great Antispy 2012′s scan results) and will indicate uninfected files as being compromised. Equally-fraudulent pop-up warnings supplement Galileo System Cleaner’s scans, which take place automatically, since Galileo System Cleaner launches itself without your permission via a Windows auto-startup exploit.

Since Galileo System Cleaner actually doesn’t do anything to clean your PC, there’s, obviously, no need to spend money on its serial key, which Galileo System Cleaner promotes as the most convenient solution to all of these fictitious infections. However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers do recommend getting rid of Galileo System Cleaner, itself, with an anti-malware program ASAP, since Galileo System Cleaner’s presence can constitute a security hazard.

Traveling the World Wide Web without a Single Attack from Galileo System Cleaner

Rogue anti-spyware programs like Galileo System Cleaner usually are installed by one of the following attacks. Avoiding websites, file attachments and other probable sources of such attacks can prevent Galileo System Cleaner from ever compromising your PC in the first place.

• Fake security alerts from malicious websites and advertisements. These alerts claim that your PC is infected and request that you install Galileo System Cleaner, Great Antispy 2012 or a similar type of scamware to fix your computer. Galileo System Cleaner may be installed regardless of what you select.
• Rootkits and related PC threats often are installed through drive-by-download exploits or Trojan droppers disguised as e-mail-distributed file attachments. One common payload for a rootkit is the humble fake security program like Galileo System Cleaner.

Disabling Java and JavaScript can also help prevent these attacks, which often use Java-related exploits to attack through your browser. For safety’s sake, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you scan your PC after any contact with a site that’s suspected of being scamware-based PC threats like Galileo System Cleaner.
