System Care Antivirus [removal guide]

By | april 10, 2013

System Care Antivirus from the WinWebSec family is malware related and categorized as rogue software or Scareware, that attempts to appear as legitimate Antivirus software, but in reality System Care Antivirus is not beneficial software.

System Care Antivirus uses social engineering to cause shock, anxiety, or the perception of a threat by fraudulently scanning the computer system and displaying fake system issue results, including fake results that indicate the computer is infected with Spyware that steals passwords from the internet and Adware that displays pop-ups.

The System Care Antivirus rogueware may even display fake notifications stating that the computer is infected with fake backdoor rootkits and Trojan horses. To protect itself from being removed, System Care Antivirus will terminate almost all programs that you attempt to run on your computer. It does this so that you are unable to launch security programs or utilities that can aid you in removing this infection.
