Soft Stronghold (aka SoftStronghold) is just another fake antispyware from the group that gets replenished with a new malware every two or three days – can you imagine that? The recent predecessors of Soft Stronghold are Soft Veteran, Soft Cop, Soft Soldier, TrustSoldier, TrustWarrior and SecureFighter. Those cyber mobsters seem quite active as they try to gain income from putting their malignant virtual offsprings into rotation. Soft Stronghold stealthily drops its malicious files into the potential host system so that each computer usage session gets interfered with. Soft Stronghold issues lots of adware as it proceeds. It displays annoying pop-ups and fake scanners to persuade its victims to buy the licensed copy of Soft Stronghold. Purchasing Soft Stronghold full version is a mistake because it’s dangerous and totally incapable of fixing any computer errors and removing PC threats.
