SPYWARE ALERT: Deus Cleaner PDF Print E-mail

We're seeing some users infected by a piece of spyware purporting to be a cleanup utility called Deus Cleaner. Deus Cleaner displays dire (and exaggerated) warnings about security problems on the infected computer in an attempt to get the user to purchase the full version. DO NOT download, install, or especially purchase Deus Cleaner. Remove it IMMEDIATELY if it has managed to find its way onto your computer.

Removal requires manually deleting several registry entries and files and unregistering DLLs. If you are not comfortable with the inner workings of Windows please contact us. We can remove it while doing a complete checkup of your computer.
