MalwareLion Anti-Malware
If you have downloaded MalwareLion Anti-Malware, a program named Spyware Clear will show up every time you turn on the computer. The application represented at spywareclear.com is quite suspicious; however, not because of the name differences between the installer and the actual program. What is suspicious is that MalwareLion Anti-Malware pretends to be a legit malware detection and removal program just for financial gain. The publisher of this dubious, fake anti-malware is Crawler LLC, and some computer users may recognize it as the publisher of another suspicious, potentially unwanted program PCTechHotline. Both of these applications should be deleted from the system; however, right now you must focus on MalwareLion Anti-Malware removal. Learn more about the program, why it is considered to be malicious, and how you can delete it using our analysis. Read more »
Spyware Clear
You have to delete Spyware Clear from the system and leave all ideas about activating its full version behind. We advise the immediate removal of this application because it is a fake AV which will fool you about supposedly attacking infections just to get your money. Even though Spyware Clear is not as disruptive and powerful as other dangerous rogues we have reported in the past (e.g., Win 7 Antispyware 2014 or Vista Antivirus 2014), it may be just as misleading. If you do not remove Spyware Clear and instead trust the intimidating scanner reports, it is likely that you will be fooled into purchasing a completely worthless security tool which will only take up space on the system. What is more, if you leave your virtual security in the hands of this fake tool, it is possible that you will suffer real malware attacks. Read more »
