File Restore description

File Restore is fabricated anti-spyware program which enters through the help of trojan horse. Trojan enters the system through its vulnerabilities and makes perfect background for the parasite to come in. The program is malicious and fraudulent.

Once installed, File Restore starts to imitate computer scans and displays numerous fake warning messages that state your PC is infected:

Hard drive boot sector reading error
System blocks were not found
Error while relocating TARE sectors
Error 0 – DATA_BUS_ERROR
Error 0×00000078 – INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Error 0×00000050 – PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
The storage device has failed a self-test
The self-test procedure of the storage device has detected an irreparable errors.
SMART state is “Out of order” before the disk scan

Do not fall for this scam because it can cause you serious trouble. The parasite has an ability to hijack your browser to deceptive web pages that sell the program. Avoid believing in anything this fake anti-spyware application shows because it is a fraud.  Malware may disable your regular malware scanner but Stopzilla is imune to this. However, choose decent computer protection tool and terminate File Restore upon detection.
