An example of one of the many fraudulent warnings that can be created by the scamware Securebit Technologies, the 'Disk Drive C is being deleted' fake message displays automatically in an attempt to convince you that your entire hard drive is being erased. However, SpywareRemove.com malware experts' currently gathered information on Securebit Technologies leads them to believe that Securebit Technologies actually doesn't delete any files on your computer, let alone your entire C drive's contents. Since the 'Disk Drive C is being deleted' fake message is associated with rogue anti-malware products that present a danger to your computer's safety and stability, you always should remove a 'Disk Drive C is being deleted' fake message by deleting Securebit Technologies and any other associated PC threats with a legitimate anti-malware program.

The Data-Deleting Scamware That 'Defends' Your Desktop
