Threat Nuker

Threat Nuker aka ThreatNuker is a fake tool disguised as a legitimate anti-spyware application. Threat Nuker was especially created to trick users out of their money in exchange for a useless application. After a Trojan has installed and executed Threat Nuker on a system, the desktop will be flooded with pop-ups, security warnings and a system scanner which will report the detection of several harmful computer parasites. Theses security notifications are all fabricated and displayed to convince a victim that his/her system is infested with malware that can only be removed with the purchase of the full version of Threat Nuker. This is all part of the trick to get unsuspecting users to cough out their cash; never purchase this rogue application. Instead, the moment you encounter pop-ups from Threat Nuker use an effective rogueware removal tool to clear your PC of this threat.
