Removal Instructions for AdwareAlert
AdwareAlert is a rogue anti-spyware application that claims to specialize in removing adware. However, though it appears to be legitimate, it is nothing short of a scam. When the free trial is downloaded and run, it claims that there are infections on the computer. The threats it points to are harmless, but it gives them malicious names and tells the user that they must buy the full version of AdwareAlert in order to have the threats removed.
Though AdwareAlert isn’t harmful, it is very deceptive and expensive. If you want protection from spyware and adware, then you should look somewhere else. You should also remove this rogue from your computer. In order to do this manually, you should stop the following processes:
AdwareAlert.exe

Spybot S&D said I have AdwareAlert but won’t remove it… In the registry editor I did a search for “AdwareAlert” and it yielded no results but Spybot 1.6.2 said “can’t delete because you aren’t a computer administrator” even though I am. I tried to deleted with different programs, but with no help. SpyZooka was my last chance to get rid of it and it worked. I can’t believe it even now…
AdwareAlert and WinAntiVirus bug me so much!I didn’t know how to get rid of this crap!I tried with lots of programs but it seems that SpyZooka is the only one that helped me to remove them. I wanted to say thanks!
I installed SpyZooka very quickly. My Acer laptop was running very slow and once I installed this I have not had a problem since!
