TrustWarrior

TrustWarrior is a new rogue antispyware application, hailing from the Wini-family of rogue anti-spyware programs. TrustWarrior is installed via the use of Trojan infections, which automatically installs this parasite onto a computer system , of course without the user’s permission or knowledge thereof.

Once TrustWarrior is installed, this parasite will also create hundreds, if not thousands of harmless files on the infected computer, each toting random file names that are used to impersonate malware on the computer.

TrustWarrior will then be configured to start automatically on the computer, as the user logs into Windows. Once up and running, TrustWarrior will scan the system in question, and state that there are numerous infections present, but bear in mind, TrustWarrior will NOT remove any of these supposed ‘parasites’, as it is incapable of such feats, it will however convince the user that it is capable of fixing the system, as long as the user purchases its full version.

These infections, though, are all files created when TrustWarrior was installed and are in actuality completely harmless, or complete fabrications.

Being installed onto a system via a Trojan downloader infection, TrustWarrior assists in aiding the Trojan in displaying fake security alert messages. These warnings are absolutely all false and are only being shown to further coerce and frighten the user into thinking that there is a security issue with their system.

The whole purpose of all this is to convince the unsuspecting user that their system is in fact doubled over with various viruses – and the solution proposed by this nefarious application is to purchase the full version of TrustWarrior. This is all a scam – and nothing that comes from or is associated with TrustWarrior should be trusted.
