How to remove SystemWarrior?

What is SystemWarrior?

SystemWarrior is yet another rogue anti-spyware program in the WiniSoft family of fake spyware removers. These same people have been responsible for countless scams throughout these last few months, with SystemFighter and SystemVeteran being their most recent “work”. SystemWarrior is no different than it’s predessesors: it looks the same and it works in the same way.

This parasite typically enters the system by using downloader trojans and drive-by downloads. Upon entering the system it floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, claiming his system is infected, and urging him to download SystemWarrior. Much like any other rogue, SystemWarrior performs fake system scans, which mark legitimate files as threats, in hopes of creating the illusion that the users system is infected. Afterwards SystemWarrior tries to persuade the user to purchase it’s “licensed version” in order to remove the non-existent infections.

Do NOT be fooled by this program – it has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats, and should therefore be ignored. Remove SystemWarrior as soon as you’ve detected it’s presence.

SystemWarrior is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only SystemWarrior can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SystemWarrior trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SystemWarrior offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SystemWarrior does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SystemWarrior, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SystemWarrior, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SystemWarrior, is nearly impossible to remove manually.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as SystemWarrior?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
