Windows Care Taker

Windows Care Taker Description

With everything from a self-proclaimed ‘all-in-one’ suite to anti-phishing features to an advanced process control tool, Windows Care Taker may act as though Windows Care Taker has all of your security worries under control, but this is not the truth. Windows Care Taker isn’t able to detect or remove any kind of malicious software from your PC. Sadly, this crippling disadvantage will not slow Windows Care Taker down from creating bogus alerts to lure you into believing that Windows Care Taker is a legitimate security product. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have also noted the involvement of Windows Care Taker and its relatives in attacks that can block real security programs or hijack your browser, and for this reason label Windows Care Taker as not just a nuisance, but a threat to your PC that should be exterminated post-haste.

Why Windows Care Taker Offers Your PC Everything Except Genuine Security

While its predominant purpose appears to be serving as a fake anti-virus scanner, Windows Care Taker also offers a number of other fraudulent security features that feed you false information, control which applications you can access and even modify your web-browsing settings. You can anticipate the following attacks on any PC that’s infected by a FakeVimes-based scamware program like Windows Care Taker:

Changes to your Hosts file that force your web browser to redirect to hostile or unusual websites. SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that these redirects focus especially on any attempts to use search engines and may even be involved in altering your search results.
Malfunctioning security, firewall and system diagnostic applications. In particular, Windows Care Taker and its clones are noted for their ability not only to block Windows Task Manager, but replace it with their own memory-monitoring utility without your consent.

These issues may make it necessary that you disable Windows Care Taker via Safe Mode or alternative methods before you’re able to run software that’s capable of deleting Windows Care Taker from your PC.
Pop-up messages, including fake task bar notifications and fake system prompts that promote Windows Care Taker or include erroneous information about the presence of nonexistent PC threats.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts place some stress on the fact that the latter attack can be identified as independent from legitimate warning messages due to the unusual and unlikely contents of Windows Care Taker’s warnings, which will threaten you with extreme (and extremely fake) dangers.
