AdCare is a rogue anti-spyware application from the same family as VaccineTree and ResetInfo. AdCare spreads via Trojans. Once inside a machine, AdCare will run a fake system scan and scare the victim by detecting numerous computer threats. AdCare aka Ad Care will also display bogus security alerts and pop-up warnings to alarm the victim further and coerce him/her into purchasing its "full version". The "full version" of AdCare does not exist and users should not waste their money purchasing this rogue application.
