Security Soldier (alias SecuritySoldier) is a severe cyber menace from the same species of rogues as SecurityFighter, SaveArmor, SaveDefender, SafetyKeeper, QuickHealCleaner, SoftSafeness, BlockDefense, WiniFighter and SystemCop. Security Soldier paves its way to one’s trust and then asks for some money in return for its services which do not even exist. Security Soldier propagates secretly with the help of downloader trojan that drops its code into one’s system without the user and his/her antivirus program noticing it. Having made it on board, Security Soldier reaches the deepest parts of the host OS – the System Registry and System 32 folder; and modifies them by creating some essential files and entries there. When this part is done, Security Soldier holds the compromised system hostage by overwhelming it with its numerous pop-ups and system scans that report imaginary infections on one’s PC and then recommend the user to remove them using Security Soldier commercial version.
