Why Purchasing PC Health Kit is a Waste of Money

Regardless of the actual state of the victim's computer, PC Health Kit will claim that the victim's computer is infected with numerous Trojans, viruses, rootkits and worms.

PC Health Kit also pesters the victim with error messages and alarming system notifications. All of these are designed to convince the computer user to buy a 'full version' of PC Health Kit.

ESG security researchers strongly advise against paying for a 'full version' of PC Health Kit. This fake security program has neither the capacity to detect malware or remove it from your computer, particularly because PC Health Kit is a form of malware itself.

If PC Health Kit is installed on your computer, ESG security researchers recommend the use of an able-bodied anti-malware program to evaluate your computer. It is important to make sure that your real anti-malware program is fully updated and to start up the infected computer in Safe Mode to prevent PC Health Kit from running automatically and potentially interfering with your security software.
