What is System Care Antivirus?

System Care Antivirus is yet another rogue antivirus program released by schemers behind the WinWebSec family. The clandestine infection comes from the same group of fake AV tools as AVASoft Professional Antivirus, Disk Antivirus Professional and System Progressive Protection. The clandestine threat is represented almost identically to its predecessors, as it uses the same pink on light blue layout. If you have noticed the suspicious program running on your computer, do not pay any attention to it or the seemingly authentic security warnings. The program is based on scare-tactics and all information presented through it is supposed to scare you into purchasing the full version of the completely fake tool. Do not even think about purchasing this product because it cannot delete computer threats or guard against them. Instead, you should invest your money in legitimate malware detection and removal tools which could remove System Care Antivirus.

How is System Care Antivirus presented?

The malicious rogue depends on the successful running of all malignant files which can be infiltrated onto your computer without any notice. It has been discovered that schemers may use Trojans, fake video codecs and the infamous ZeroAccess rootkit to drop the dangerous application onto the system. After this, malignant components are set to paralyze your computer, leading to Internet connection issues, inability to run system executables or access Task Manager and Registry Editor, both of which are required for manual System Care Antivirus removal operations. These dysfunctions are accompanied by the misleading rogue’s interface. The layout of it does not look suspicious as it offers such services as System Scan, Protection, Privacy, Update and Settings. The System Scan looks exceptionally intimidating because it mimics a real computer scanner which detects such scary-looking infections as Trojan.IRCBot.d and Worm.Bagle.CP.
