Windows Instant Scanner Removal Guide

Rogue.VirusDoctor group of rogue antispyware has yet another new member that can be added to the forever-growing family of these computer threats. This time it is Windows Instant Scanner and it is a direct clone of all the other rogues that has come before it, including Windows Safety Wizard, Windows PC Aid, Windows Custom Safety and many others. Just like its predecessors Windows Instant Scanner tries to look like a real computer antimalware program in order to embezzle hard-earned money from unsuspecting computer users worldwide. Unless you remove Windows Instant Scanner from the system, you will become another victim of this rogue as well.

Windows Instant Scanner is known to infect computers via fake online malware scanners and infected websites. You don’t need to click anywhere when you open a website related to the rogue. The moment you land on it, you initiate the download and installation of Windows Instant Scanner automatically. Once the rogue settles into your system it makes sure that you cannot terminate it – Windows Instant Scanner blocks your Internet browser under a pretense that is infected and needs to be shut down. Also, the rogue does not allow you to load a number of your executables, claiming that most of your programs are also related to viruses that are about to cripple your system. Windows Instant Scanner also provides fake scan results that back up its claims, as well as fake security notifications that pop up every now and then, trying to drive you insane:

Error
Software without a digital signature detected.
Your system files are at risk. We strongly advise you to activate your protection.

Warning
Firewall has blocked a program from accessing the Internet.
Windows Media Player Resources
C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\wmploc.dll
C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\wmploc.dll is suspected to have infected your PC. This type of virus intercepts entered data and transmits them to a remote server.

Coupled with the fact that Windows Instant Scanner denies you access to Registry Editor and Task Manager that are essential in manual rogue removal, the situation can definitely seem dire, but there is always a way out. In this case, you can “register” Windows Instant Scanner to get your programs and tools back:

While it does not remove Windows Instant Scanner per se, it does give you time to look for a decent computer safeguard application that would help you to deal with this infection. Do not hesitate and terminate Windows Instant Scanner before it comes back with the same malicious intentions.
