Windows Web Watchdog Removal Guide

You will know immediately that your computer is infected with Windows Web Watchdog when this rogue antispyware application springs into action and runs a fake system scan. It will make an impression that your computer infected with the likes of Porn-Dialer, Trojan-SMS, Rootkit and other generic computer infections, but all of that is done in order to convince you that you must purchase the full version of Windows Web Watchdog. Needless to say, that instead of doing that you need to remove Windows Web Watchdog as soon as possible, otherwise you may suffer terrible consequences.

We know exactly what to expect of Windows Web Watchdog, because this fake antivirus application comes from a well-know family of rogue antispyware programs. The name of the family is FakeVimes, although depending on categorization, it may also be called Rogue.VirusDoctor. Nevertheless, the bottom line is that Windows Web Watchdog is a new clone of Windows Paramount Protection, Windows Prime Booster, Windows Active HotSpot and many other rogue applications that have been terrorizing computer users for quite some time now. Their main objective is to steal your money.

Windows Web Watchdog can easily rip you off by pushing you into revealing your credit card information on the rogue’s purchase website. It says that you can get a lifetime subscription for $79.95, and then all the malicious applications will be removed by Windows Web Watchdog. Needless to say, that the rogue does not have an ability to remove malware from your computer. None of the applications indicated in the list are present. By revealing your credit card information to a malevolent third party, you will only lose your money and your PC will still be infected with Windows Web Watchdog.

This rogue tries its best to remain on your computer, because it blocks you from accessing the Internet by blocking all executable applications. It may also deny access to Registry Editor and Windows Task Manager, as well as bar you from accessing all of your files by deactivating Windows Explorer. It may seem that the only way out of this situation would involve buying the full version of Windows Web Watchdog, but do not be so hasty. You can actually “register” Windows Web Watchdog by click the question mark button and then selecting “register”. When a Registration pop-up appears, enter one of the following registration keys:
