I need some information about ErrorSafe.
Like:
What is that ?
What is removing (including good things)?
And other...
I will add screenshots when starts school.
Why?
In some computers are installed ErrorSafe program.
(If I get problems,I will not add a thread in Malware Removal Forum,setting to safe mode is too hard!
(I don`t know english a lot.)

Behavior

ErrorSafe is a Security Risk that may give exaggerated reports of threats on the computer. The program then prompts the user to purchase a registered version of the software in order to remove the reported threats.

Hm...
I`m not sure.
Just something what I remember:
On startup scans computer (I`m aborting that.),and connects to server.
The icon of ErrorSafe is red shield with + in center.
Some times is showing number of problems,other and buttons Repair later and
Repair it now.
When I select Repair it now,it shows some page but,I closed.

Hello,

ErrorSafe pretends to be an antivirus programm.
It mainly appears in connection with a Smitfraud-C infection and is praised on a blue screen. Having installed the software one has to accept an insufficient Privacy. There is no button to deny this privacy.
A scan with ErrorSafe reveals several problems that allegedly need to be removed urgently in order to rescue the computer.
At this point the user is requested to buy the whole program for an unacceptable price.

Best regards

I`ve scanned school`s computer and I`ve found 100 problems (40 entries of ErrorSafe.)
The computers in my school are sick (better say:infected).:sick:
But I have more detected problems.
with luck,all problems are removed.:cool:
