NoblePCAP – What Does It Do?
NoblePCAP is classified as risky software. This does not make it a virus, but it may be just as dangerous. Once installed on your system, the program may modify its Run and RunOnce Windows registry keys, allowing it to run automatically when you turn on your computer.
When NoblePCAP runs, it may start to perform several different scans, that may end up detecting a lot of errors:
But to remove those errors, this application wants you to upgrade to its full version. This is highly inadvisable because these riskware apps are reported to display these scans only for money, and their developers likely do not care if the errors shown are even existent.
And not only this app may run a lot of scans and interrupt you while you are casually using your computer, but it may do other things as well. One of them could be a pop-up, like the one below, asking to call “tech support”:
Calling this support number is highly inadvisable because these so-called support people may only lure you even deeper into the scam and may even request remote access to your computer to “fix the errors”. After they pretend to fix errors, they may want you to pay them hundreds of dollars for the service.

How to Remove NoblePCAP from Windows.
Step 1: Boot Your PC In Safe Mode to isolate and remove NoblePCAP
Step 2: Uninstall NoblePCAP and related software from Windows
Here is a method in few easy steps that should be able to uninstall most programs. No matter if you are using Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP, those steps will get the job done. Dragging the program or its folder to the recycle bin can be a very bad decision. If you do that, bits and pieces of the program are left behind, and that can lead to unstable work of your PC, errors with the file type associations and other unpleasant activities. The proper way to get a program off your computer is to Uninstall it. To do that:
Follow the instructions above and you will successfully uninstall most programs.
Step 3: Clean any registries, created by NoblePCAP on your computer.
The usually targeted registries of Windows machines are the following:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
You can access them by opening the Windows registry editor and deleting any values, created by NoblePCAP there. This can happen by following the steps underneath:
Tip: To find a virus-created value, you can right-click on it and click "Modify" to see which file it is set to run. If this is the virus file location, remove the value.
Before starting "Step 4", please boot back into Normal mode, in case you are currently in Safe Mode.
