ErrorWiz

ErrorWiz is a new rogue antispyware application. ErrorWiz 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 ErrorWiz 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.

ErrorWiz will then be configured to start automatically on the computer, as the user logs into Windows. Once up and running, ErrorWiz will scan the system in question, and state that there are numerous infections present, but bear in mind, ErrorWiz 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 it full version.

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

Being installed onto a system via a Trojan downloader infection, ErrorWiz 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 ErrorWiz. This is all a scam – and nothing that comes from or is associated with ErrorWiz or should be trusted.

• Registers a Dynamic Link Library File
• Enables the system to use a Communications Proxy Server
• Looks at the contents of the autoexec.bat file
• Reads email address and phone book details

ErrorWiz is defiantly NOT to be trusted, as it will only compromise and cause dramatic system degradation in the process.

One should remove the ErrorWiz rogue anti-spyware application as soon as it has been detected on a computer system.

It is best to employ the services of a fully functional and legitimate antispyware tool to remove this parasite, ErrorWiz, and all its components.
