What is Essential Cleaner? (Information)

Essential Cleaner is a fake security software which uses fraudulent strategies by displaying false or exaggerated security issues on your computer rather than any legitimate ones to coerce you into purchasing their software.

Essential Cleaner will displays bogus warning messages, telling you that your computer is infected. It uses misleading methods to win your trust and make you actually believe your computer is compromised with viruses, spyware or trojans. MS Removal Tool will later suggest that you purchase a copy of it to remove the infections as part of their scam. Their bogus antispyware or antivirus database is totally incapable of performing any removal of viruses or other declared functions.
