How to remove Trust Cop?

October 6th, 2009

What is Trust Cop?

TrustCop is a rogue anti-spyware which uses the same malicious tactics as many other fake security applications. All these tactics lead inexperienced PC users into purchasing Trust Cop’s “licensed” version and that is exactly why this scam was created. It should be noted, that this parasite can also be blamed for stealing personal data and downloading more malware to the system, so watch out!
The trial version of TrustCop Antivirus reaches the system through malicious websites which falsely inform computer users about parasites found in the system. After the user enters these domains, fake alert messages are displayed, leading the user into downloading TrustCop. Agreeing to download this scam of a program is a big mistake because after the program settles down in the system, it doesn’t stop. It uses continuous security alerts and fabricated virus scans to encourage users to purchase this fake application. Don’t trust TrustCop Antivirus as a legitimate anti-spyware. It is not, and should be removed as soon as possible.

Trust Cop 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 Cop can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Trust Cop trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Trust Cop offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Trust Cop 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 Cop, 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 Cop, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

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


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

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.
