Disk Doctor - new fake system optimizing software.

Disk Doctor is one of the latest fake programs in the family of rogue system optimizers that have been so rapidly infecting many PCs over the latest period of time. Just as its forefunners Win Defrag, Win Defragmenter, Scan Disk and Win HDD, this scam is really effective in penetrating to PCs by means of some corrupted software downloads, redirected links and spam messages. Please know that it has the name of a reputable software, that’s why make sure to see the difference between these two programs. One of them is a decent one, the other one is fake and can do lots of damage.

Due to its presence on your PC your hard drive may slow down considerably, your true anti-virus programs may get deactivated, and at the end you notice many popups of Disk Doctor trying to convince you to purchase this stealthware, claiming that it’s a tool that will help you get rid of all the problems that appeared on your machine. Please be not tricked by it. Disregard any messages it presents. Make sure to remove it using a decent anti-virus tool, or you may decide to do it manually by following the procedures prescribed below.
