How to Remove Ad Care Rogue Anti-Spyware?
Ad Care Information:
Ad Care (also referred as AdCare) is a fake antispyware software that distributes across the Internet by taking advantage of Trojans and fake online security websites. Ad Care gets into the target systems without the user’s permission. It stealthily infiltrates into the computer and alters system settings and adds new registry entries to make itself load whenever Windows is running. Once Ad Care is executed, computer users may keep receiving fake security alert pop-ups promoting Ad Care. Ad Care runs its bogus virus scanner that reports non-existing viruses on your PC to mislead them into paying for the commercial version of Ad Care. Ad Care is nothing but a big scam. You should remove Ad Care immediately upon its trace on your PC.
