Vaccine Clean

Posted: January 24, 2011

Vaccine Clean (or VaccineClean) is not a malware remover application as it claims to be, it is rogue antispyware application designed for malicious purposes. Vaccine Clean has been created by cyber criminals to pilfer money from unwary computer users. Vaccine Clean produces a fake system scan which generates bogus results claiing the system is infected with malware. To a hapless computer user this all may seem real but it is actually a blatant cyber scam created to try and make users part with their hard earned money.

Security experts recommend deleting VaccineClean from your computer system immediately. Make sure you are always using genuine updated software to terminate threats such as Vaccine Clean or any other parasite that attacks your PC.
