How to remove Trust Soldier?

October 10th, 2009

What is Trust Soldier?

TrustSoldier is a rogue application you should not trust. It is a skin of TrustCop, Trust Ninja and other similarly named malwares. Even their skins are alike, since the creators did not want to spend too much time and money to create these. The creators of Trust Soldier use shameless tactics to promote these patriotically named products: driveby downloads on infected websites, fake comparison sites or old and simple infection through Trojans.

After download, TrustSoldier will start showing alerts about dangerous spywares in your PC. Most of these alerts are fake, because this rogue application has no working detection engine at all. However, you should be concerned with your privacy – your PC is infected with Trust Soldier itself, which can lead to significant trouble. Infections like these might render your PC useless and you might have to re-install the OS in the long term. Also, you risk giving away your bank information details to shady criminals. Thus you should remove Trust Soldier once you’ve noticed it on your PC.

Trust Soldier 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 Trust Soldier can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Trust Soldier trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Trust Soldier offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Trust Soldier 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 Trust Soldier, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

It then proceeds to download or even install Trust Soldier, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

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


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

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.

    The above solutions didn’t work for me as the Trojan stopped me installing any software, getting on the internet, searching for files OR restoring to a later date. After 5 hours I fixed it by restarting windows in SAFE MODE then restoring windows to a point before the infection. I then installed Malwarebytes anti-malware and it found the infection and isolated it. I also ran my virus checker AFTER malwarebytes. I hope this saves you the 5 hours messing around with regit etc!!! God bless the Queen – The English
