By Jason on October 22, 2009 | Rogue Antispyware How to Remove SoftVeteran, SoftVeteran Removal Instructions

SoftVeteran is a malware which pretends to be a real system security tool. Although SoftVeteran might look very convincing and tempting, it should be avoided at any cost. Purchasing the program will not provide the computer with security or virus protection. The only actions that Soft Veteran is capable of performing are misleading and harmful. Downloading or installing this application might lead to some serious system damage.

SoftVeteran employs various malicious techniques in order to trick the user into purchasing the program: it installs on the computer all by itself, depicts legitimate system files as threats during the fabricated security scans and suggests removing them (this might cause serious computer dysfunctions or even system crash), prevents legitimate anti-spyware programs from working, hijacks the web browser and redirects it to some corrupt websites. Please beware and do not purchase SoftVeteran. If you, however, already have SoftVeteran on your system, please follow the instructions in order to remove it.
