ScreenshotVirusCleaner is a fake antivirus application that is usually downloaded and installed by a Trojan or through other illegal delivery methods. VirusCleaner loads on Windows startup and may generate unwanted popup adverts. VirusCleaner will also show messages of imaginary security risks in its attempts to get the user to buy the full version. VirusCleaner may appear very difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to renew itself.
