Windows Abnormality Checker

Windows Abnormality Checker Description

Windows Abnormality Checker is a stereotypical example of what happens when criminal software designers get lazy and start creating new variants of old PC threats merely by renaming them. Like most recent members of Win32/FakeVimes, Windows Abnormality Checker looks identical to its fellow scamware variants and can be quickly identified by its fake ‘Advanced Process Control,’ ‘Anti-phishing’ and ‘All-in-one suite’ features. While Windows Abnormality Checker, as a rogue anti-spyware scanner, claims to be able to protect your computer from a colorfully diverse selection of hostile programs, including everything from keyloggers to identity theft-related attacks. However, Windows Abnormality Checker’s security information is fake and its ability to remove any kind of PC threat is less than nil. Accordingly, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers encourage you to remove Windows Abnormality Checker with your choice of actual anti-malware software ASAP.

You should never treat Windows Abnormality Checker like a legitimate security application. While Windows Abnormality Checker will persistently show off a wide range of fake system alerts and other pop-ups to support its malware-riddled system scans, all of Windows Abnormality Checker’s system diagnostic information is preset and, therefore, inaccurate.

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also note that Windows Abnormality Checker and similar types of rogue anti-spyware scanners from FakeVimes can also use other functions besides fake security features while attacking your PC. Some of the most significant such hostile functions include:

• Attempts by Windows Abnormality Checker to redirect your online searches to unusual sites for the sake of easy PPC profit.
• Windows Abnormality Checker blocking your legitimate security programs, including anti-malware and anti-spyware products, to prevent you from running them (and, in all likelihood, deleting Windows Abnormality Checker itself).
• Generally-reduced Windows security features that can make your PC unusually vulnerable to future attacks by PC threats; some examples include disabled UAC functionality and disabled protection from invalid file signatures.

How to Banish Windows Abnormality Checker and Restore Your PC to Normalcy

While Windows Abnormality Checker should, like any type of malicious software, be removed as soon as possible, Windows Abnormality Checker may also block the anti-malware software that you’d prefer to use for the task. In such instances, SpywareRemove.com malware experts suggest disabling Windows Abnormality Checker (by using Safe Mode or similar options) or using a brand of anti-malware product that isn’t blocked by Windows Abnormality Checker in the first place. Removing Windows Abnormality Checker ‘by hand,’ while possible, carries with it a significant risk of damaging your operating system, as Windows Abnormality Checker, like all members of FakeVimes, changes the Windows Registry, Hosts file and other system components.

SpywareRemove.com malware research team also recommends attempting to fake the registration process for Windows Abnormality Checker if deleting Windows Abnormality Checker right away proves to be extremely troublesome. The freely-distributed code ’0W000-000B0-00T00-E0020′ will let you do this without spending a dime in the direction of Windows Abnormality Checker’s criminal partners.
