[Virus] ErrorSafe







ErrorSafe will prompt the user with a fake security alarm( fictitious security problems), to encourage the user to buy a commercial version of the software.
Example below:



To get rid of ErrorSafe, just install Ad-Aware SE Personal and update the database definitions, then run an analysis:

Ad-Aware SE
In addition, it is possible to do the same with Spybot Search & Destroy:

Spybot
Finally, as a last resort, if after you restart the computer the problem persists, it is best to remove everything that bears the name ErrorSafe in the registry:

Click start menu / run / then type:

regedit 
  • OK, then go to Edit / Find


errorsafe
  • Click on Next and wait for the search result,
  • Click with the right mouse button on the file found and choose Delete, then press F3 (further research)
  • Delete in the same way all the files found after pressing F3.
