The Norton Power Eraser is a specially designed program for removing rogueware (potentially unwanted program) from a Windows PC.
The growing rogue programs or misleading applications, if installed, use fake pop-up alerts or security messages that scare you into thinking your PC has been infected and needs to be fixed immediately.
Rogue software will often install Trojan and automatically download unnecessary items onto your PC even if you didn’t actively click on anything.
The new Norton Power Eraser eliminates deeply embedded and difficult to remove crimeware (rogue programs) that traditional virus scanning doesn't always detect.
To use this portable tool an active internet connection is necessary. Download Norton Power Eraser for free at source.
Thanks for sharing. A very useful information
ReplyDeleteBe careful - as the app warns, it is highly aggressive in detecting potential issues. Many common type apps are marked including many third-party firewalls, AVs and really any program that by design uses a keyboard hook.
ReplyDeleteUsed it to remove some rogue spy-ware and all it found was the shortcut to it....not very useful
ReplyDeleteLast week was the first time the tool saw public use. I expect the false positive rate will go down over time. I suggest checking the Norton Power Eraser page for any updates to the tool since Norton is planning on frequent updates during the Beta. Just make sure to review the results screen to see exactly what the tool food and deselect any file that you are certain is safe.If however, you make a mistake and remove a file you need, NPE allows you to easily recover files from the review/undo menu.
