ErrorSweeper screenshot Error Sweeper — which boldly pimps itself as the “Most Advanced PC Error Fixer!” — is in fact badware that either tricks you into downloading it or enters your computer as a Trojan horse. ErrorSweeper promises to clean your computer of registry errors, but in reality ErrorSweeper’s just another scareware app trying to scam money out of good, hard-working people. Yeah, like we need more of those, espesh right now.

Here’s how Error Sweeper’s scam works. Once installed, an ErrorSweeper popup displays all sorts of meaningless warnings about your computer and then says something like, “Total Problems Found: 24.” But it doesn’t really scan your computer. ErrorSweeper just wants to fool you into buying the so-called “full” version, which doesn’t exist.

Don’t feel like getting ripped off today? I’m with you. So let me show you how to uninstall ErrorSweeper, for free.

ErrorFix screenshot ErrorFix? More like ErrorCreator. ErrorFix may be fake registry cleaner software. You need to manually install ErrorFix, and once you do, you may regret it.

Lovely.
