Remove CleanThis
When looking for a competent security program for your computer nowadays, you better be careful. There are quite a few pieces of software that pretend to be legitimate anti-malware programs but are actually malware themselves. A good example of this is CleanThis.
You don’t even have to make a decision to install CleanThis – it enters your system through fake online malware scanners or infected websites. The first time you’ll find out about CleanThis is when it prompts you to restart your computer to remove a malware infection. That’s when your problems start.
Once you restart, CleanThis will pretend to run a fake system scan. During this scan, like all others of this type of program, it will find an “infection”. This is not real – CleanThis is trying to scare you so you will accept its next offer. It will then ask you to buy certain modules that are not found on its “trial version” so as to get rid of the infection.
Don’t believe it! There is no infection and you will lose quite a bit of money if you buy that module – it will also put your credit card info into some hacker’s hands. The best way to deal with it is to remove it. To find out how, read on.
