Published: Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

TrustCop (also known as Trust Cop) is a nasty little computer parasite that creeps into one’s system and makes a mess out of it unless uninstalled. TrustCop apparently correlates with such fake antivirus programs as TrustWarrior, SystemCop, SecureFighter, SafetyKeeper, SaveArmor and SoftSafeness which have been exploiting almost identical GUIs and spreading tactics. TrustCop infects a PC unnoticeably for the user and the firewall since it bypasses security entrapments without letting the system know it is getting installed. Therefore, you will stumble upon TrustCop when its code is already injected in the system registry, program files and System32 directory. The external signs of TrustCop being on board are as follows: numerous pop-ups, obsessive security scanners, hijacked browser causing redirections to fake scanner pages, slow computer problem. The only way to dodge the above symptoms is to get rid of TrustCop completely, NOT to purchase its registered version like it prompts you to do. TrustCop issues false claims about alleged virus detection facts and reports imaginary parasites to make you install its licensed software for removing them. Don’t fall for TrustCop ultimate fraud and do not stay hostage of the rogue’s activity. Please, follow the guide below to remove TrustCop scam once and forall.
