Malware Catcher popup is a fake warning by the badware AVCare. The popup reads: "Your system is infected! AVCare detected 10 system security threats on your PC. Detected malicious programs can damage your PC and compromise your privacy. It is strongly recommended to remove these threats immediately." If you follow the prompts you'll be tricked into running a fake scan and spending your money on the dubious AVCare software which can corrupt your important files and at worst record your keystrokes, putting all of your personal information at risk.
Before the Malware Catcher pop-up ad tricks you into shelving over any of your money, I'll show you the best way to get rid of the AVCare spyware that's causing the issue.
To figure out if you actually do have the "Your System Is Infected" AVCare spyware, you should note whether or not your system has the general signs of an infection. Usually this means your computer is performing slower than usual, your homepage may have been changed without you knowing it, you may have new icons on your desktop that you've never seen before, or you may have additional annoying popups or pop-unders on your taskbar and while you are browsing the internet.
Whatever the case, you must get rid of the underlying root of the System Infected warning before you are in a much worse situation.
Manual Removal: Please note; I do not recommend manual removal for anyone who does not consider him or herself to be an expert with computers. If you make an error during a manual removal, you may delete important system files that are unrecoverable. So having said that, if you do consider yourself an expert, first make a backup of your drive, and then delete all AVCare related files from your Program files, your HKEY_LOCAL_USER folder, and associated DLL files from your registry.
To Automatically Remove the Malware Catcher Popups: All you need to do is run a free scan on your computer using anti-spyware software that has been thoroughly tested and reviewed. There are free options and there are paid options, I use paid options because of the customer service and peace of mind that future threats will not be an issue. Whatever you choose, make sure to test after the scan and removal to make sure your computer is running cleanly and as quickly as it should be.
Don't fall for the fake popups and high pressure marketing ploys from the AVCare fake spyware software and others like it. Spyware, trojans, and viruses are at an all time high and continue to get worse every day. Protect yourself now and for the future and remove spyware infections. Head over to my site and
