How to remove SystemCleanerPRO (Uninstall instructions)

Myantispyware team December 29, 2009     No Comment    

SystemCleanerPRO is a rogue antispyware program. Once installed, the rogue will be configured to run each time when you login to Windows. Then SystemCleanerPRO will perform a scan of your computer and list a lot of infections. Important to know that all of these infections are fake, the rogue is incapable of detecting and exterminating any computer infections. So you can safely ignore the scan results that SystemCleanerPRO shows you.

While SystemCleanerPRO is running, it may display nag screens and fake security alerts. Of course, all of these warnings are fake and supposed to scare you into thinking your computer is in danger. You should ignore all of them! As you can see, SystemCleanerPRO is a scam and should be removed from the system upon detection! Use the removal guide below to remove SystemCleanerPRO from your computer for free.

Use the following instructions to remove SystemCleanerPRO (Uninstall instructions)

Download MalwareBytes Anti-malware (MBAM). Once downloaded, close all programs and windows on your computer.

Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MalwareBytes Anti-malware onto your computer. 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.

MalwareBytes Anti-malware will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

As MalwareBytes Anti-malware will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box and you will now be at the main menu. You will see window similar to the one below.

Make sure the “Perform quick scan” option is selected and then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for SystemCleanerPRO infection. This procedure can take some time, so please be patient.

When the scan is finished a message box will appear that it has completed scanning successfully. Click OK. Now click “Show 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.

When MalwareBytes Anti-malware has finished removing the infection, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.
