Live PC Care is a misleading antispyware application that performs fake online system scans and reports threats to the user through fake security warnings and alerts. This rogue security program claims to detect and remove malware, but is actually spyware. The purpose of this malicious program is to sell you a product to remove threats, which it cannot do.

Live PC Care displays constant security warnings alerting you to threats that supposedly reside on your computer. Constant notifications drive you crazy, and are meant to frighten you. You are invited to scan your PC so that these threats and infections can be detected and removed. The catch comes later. Live PC Care only informs you after the infections are found that you must purchase the full product in order for them to be removed. This bogus application cannot scan your computer, neither can it detect or remove parasites.

How to tell if Live PC Care is on your PC

If you have Live PC Care or other malware on your PC, you will no doubt notice several common symptoms. The constant pop-up ads and security warnings will annoy you to no end. Your computer will also probably be slower than normal or unstable. Your home page may suddenly change, and your browser may take you to websites that you were not trying to visit.

How is spyware placed on your PC?

Nobody wants spyware, but you often get it anyway. How does this happen? These applications often install when you innocently download other programs such as music, games and videos. You may become infected by visiting dangerous websites, or by sharing networks with others. Links in spam e-mails may also be responsible.

What Live PC Care does

Most malware, including Live PC Care, track your online activities and occasionally private information. These rogue security programs collect information about your searches and the websites you visit. They may also obtain access to private passwords, credit card information and other business data. This information may be sent to third parties, who will then send advertisements to you that are related to your interests.

Live PC Care should be removed at once when you decide that it resides on your PC. This can be done manually, but unless you know what you are doing, you risk severe damage to your computer.
