The "ScanDisk" virus is a newly released rogue antivirus program which has been designed to try and get you to buy the fake upgrade to the program, as well as to continually track your Internet activity to steal your personal information. Despite the semi-legitimate look that this virus has, it's actually a total fraud which will have installed itself automatically from a number of different sources online; and will now be working to try and extort as much money as possible from your PC. This tutorial is going to show you how to get rid of this virus for good.
This virus is an actual software program, meaning that it's been created to infect your system in a different way than most viruses that you will get. The problem with this virus is that since it's an actual software program, it will block the various programs and files your computer uses to run, preventing you from being able to even access the "Task Manager" - making it quite difficult to remove. This particular infection is based on several other fake antivirus programs online, including "HDD Defragmenter", "Quick Defragmenter" and the notorious "System Defragmenter". Known as a "malware" (malicious software) infection, removing this tool is best done by first stopping the software from running and then getting rid of the parts of the infection which have been installed onto your computer.
The way to get rid of ScanDisk is to first stop the program from being able to run, and then remove its files, settings & options that it will have placed onto your PC. The problem many people face, however, is that because this infection blocks the likes of Task Manager, your Internet and many of your programs, it's actually quite difficult to prevent the application from running. You should first look to either use a program called "rkill" or "Safe Mode" to stop ScanDisk from actually running, and then you can use a "malware removal tool" to get rid of it from your system.
The best removal technique to remove the ScanDisk virus is to use an "anti-malware" program to stop it from running. These tools are designed by leading software companies to get rid of infections like ScanDisk by deleting all the files they require to run. We've found that a tool called "Frontline Rogue Remover" is the best for removing the ScanDisk virus from your PC. This is a newly released piece of software which first shows you how to get rid of the virus from your system, and then remove all the parts of the infection from your PC. You can use this program by downloading it to your system and then following the steps it shows to get rid of the virus.
