How to remove WinBlueSoft (Uninstall instructions)

Myantispyware team June 3, 2009     2 Comments    

WinBlueSoft is rogue antispyware program, new version of WiniBlueSoft scareware. WinBlueSoft uses fake alerts and false positives to trick you into buying the software and distributed through the use trojans that display a lot of security alerts stating your computer is infected and that you should download and install WinBlueSoft in order to clean your PC.

During installation, WinBlueSoft configures itself to run automatically every time, when you start your computer. In addition, the rogue configures Windows to run blocker.dll (WinBlueSoft component) every time when you start any program. blocker.dll blocks all programs except a few standart windows applications like iexplorer.exe, explorer.exe and of course winbluesoft.exe.

Once running, WinBlueSoft 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. All of these threats are fake, so you can safely ignore them.
