Malware Doctor System Alert
Malware Doctor System Alert is a bogus security alert designed and created by the fake spyware remover Malware Cleaner. Like other scams, Malware Doctor launches numerous counterfeit warning pop-ups in order to trick you into thinking your PC is infected with non-existent threats. The Malware Doctor System Alert pop-up reads as follows:
"Malware Doctor.
You are using unregistered version of Malware Doctor. The unregistered version DOES NOT heal infected files if they are discovered. Register Malware Doctor in order to protect your computer."
Do not be fooled, and do not waste your money purchasing a program that will do absolutely nothing towards protecting your computer. Remove the problem immediately upon detection.
