SystemCop Description:

The latest rogue anti-spyware program known as SystemCop (alias System Cop) has been rapidly infecting poorly protected computers during the last couple of days. So, what is SystemCop and how to prevent it from messing up one’s computer system? Actually, SystemCop is just another one of the nasty scareware apps previously represented by BlockDefense, SaveDefense, SaveSoldier, SaveKeep, WiniShield and a few other weird-named badwares. Maintaining the “family” traditions, SystemCop infiltrates one’s computer without experiencing any particular security obstacles. SystemCop bypasses the entrapments made by the antivirus software installed on the PC to be attacked. So, if you suddenly start getting some strange pop-ups and system scanners that look like the one on the snapshot below, be sure your computer has been compromised by SystemCop which is a hazardous program that ought to be exterminated as fast as possible. Via its fake alerts, fabricated scanners and nag screens, SystemCop attempts to produce the impression that the PC is under a great risk and needs a remedy, i.e. SystemCop registered version which acts according to the “money first” principle. Well, it’s a bad idea to install and buy SystemCop commercial version. You should instead get rid of SystemCop malware and remove all the infections it may have promoted onto your PC.
