They used to be ninjas, soldiers and fighters, now they're cops. No, we're not talking about some super hero movie, it's all about the recent malware family which had produced a new member called SystemCop. It is the continuation of the series of fake security tools which include BlockDefence, TrustNinja, SaveDefense, SaveSoldier, SaveKeep, WiniShield, WiniFighter and WinBlueSoft.

All these applications look the same and act the same. They pretend to be legitimate security tools although are not able to perform any functions that are expected from an actual security program. They only pretend to perform system scans and find various infections and the warning messages they produce are nothing but an attempt to scare the user into purchasing some non-functional software.

All this is the case with SystemCop. It tries to disguise as a security tool in order to trick the user into paying the money for its made up security service. The best way not to fall into SystemCop's trap is to acquire a real security program. However, if you already have SystemCop on your computer just follow the instructions bellow and you will remove System Cop in no time.
