KeepCop is a fake security software distributed online at various corrupt website using trojans to download and install KeepCop. The parasite pretends of being a legitimate antispyware program although it's actually nothing but a scam. Keep Cop imitates some of the actions performed by real antiviruses such as scanning the system or displaying warning messages in order to convince the user that it is a real security application.

KeepCop requires purchasing the program in order to get its full service, although paying money does not actually change anything. The application is a cheap imitation of a system protection program and should not be taken for granted. In fact, what one should do when having Keep Cop is remove it immediately.
