What is Antimalware Doctor?

Antimalware Doctor is a fake antispyware program designed by cyber criminals in order to gain money from less experienced computer users. It enters computers with a help of Trojan viruses without a slightest notification to the user. The program imitates every single action of antispyware program right after computer is restarted after its installation.

The application makes some modifications on Windows Registry so that it could run its scanner every time computer is booted. Then the program reports about some infections that were supposedly detected during the scan. Later, it offers purchasing a full version of Antimalware Doctor which should take care of every single infection detected.

Unfortunately, that is not true. Purchasing a license of a program will not change the situation simply because the program doesn't have ability to fix any security problems as it is based on empty software.

What is more, once the system is infected, it constantly displays security notifications and pop up ads that report about infections trying to steal your personal information, etc. They also recommend activating a commercial version of Antimalware Doctor which should fix all problems that arise. That is a lie as well.
