Now Playing: SoftSoldier
Topic: spyware
SoftSoldier is a rogue security program that is promoted with the use of Trojans, websites that broadcase TV shows and fake online scanners. SoftSoldier creates harmless files, then displays aggressive security warnings to the user. If you download the scan they offer to detect these supposedly threatening files, the results will show these files that were created in an attempt to get you to purchase the product to remove them. Don't worry too much about them, they are just fakes created to frighten you.
SoftSoldier displays constant security alerts and warnings in an effort to make you believe that your PC is infected with all types of infections, viruses and parasites. The scan that is offered to detect these threats is bogus, and SoftSoldier is also incapable of detecting or removing anything. While it may look very authentic, don't give them your money. You will get nothing in return.
A legitimate Windows Security Center does not act in this manner, or display incessant security warnings, so if you begin getting bombarded with alerts it is most likely an infection. How does SoftSoldier make its way on to your computer? Downloading files, visiting questionable websites, spam emails and shared networks are common ways this may happen. SoftSoldier is malware, and can cause your PC to become slow or unstable. It uses a large amount of system resources, and runs constantly in the background each time you start up the system.
Other signs that you may be infected with SoftSoldier include annoying pop-up ads, a changed home page or new toolbars in your browser. You may be redirected to websites advertising SoftSoldier as well. Malicious applications like this one often track what you do when you are online, and can obtain personal information such as passwords and business account data. If you have malware, you should remove it immediately to avoid further problems and possible damage to your computer.
Removing SoftSoldier manually is possible, but not advised unless you are extremely familiar with the process. Manual removal requires halting all running processes, then locating all related files and values so that they can be deleted. If done improperly, manualy removal can cause damage to your PC.
