How to remove MalwareDoc or Malware Doctor (Delete instructions)

Myantispyware team February 21, 2009     3 Comments    

MalwareDoc or Malware Doctor is a rogue antispyware program, brother of AntiSpy Knight. The fake antispyware software uses fake alerts and false positives to trick you into buying the software.

During installation, Malware Doctor configures itself to run automatically every time, when you start your computer. Once running, it will scan your computer and reports false or exaggerated system security threats on the computer that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the software. Also MalwareDoc finds are legitimate programs (c:\windows\notepad.exe, c:\windows\regedit.exe) and labels them as spyware.

Malware Doctor may drastically slow the performance of your computer. Use the free instructions below for removing the MalwareDoc and any associated malware from your computer.

Use the following instructions to remove Malware Doctor (Uninstall instructions).

Download MalwareBytes Anti-malware (MBAM). Close all programs and Windows on your computer.

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application. When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded you will see window similar to the one below.

When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. You will see a list of infected items similar as shown below. Note: list of infected items may be different than what is shown in the image below.

    I have the Malware Doctor infecting my PC. I was able to clean it up once, but it came back. The Malwarebytes program does not seem to do the trick. What now?
