Vista Scan Repair

Vista Scan Repair is a rogue security application that disguises itself as a friendly system tool. What Vista Scan Repair actually does, however, is create false warning messages while faking scans that give you highly negative results. Never purchase Vista Scan Repair or give any confidential information to its website, since this rogue application is designed purely to steal anything it can from the user. Because of this and potential security problems related to most rogue products, you should remove Vista Scan Repair from your PC at the earliest chance.

What Makes You Vulnerable to a Vista Scan Repair Attack?

There are multiple routes of infection for Vista Scan Repair, and although many of them can be protected against none of them are avoidable to a totally foolproof extent.

• Vista Scan Repair can be mistakenly downloaded from a free software website. Positive reviews and fake high ratings given by the hackers responsible for the software will make Vista Scan Repair look like a good choice at first. Always look at many different sites across the web for opinions on software like Vista Scan Repair before you download it.
• Malicious sites can issue fake warnings that recommend downloading Vista Scan Repair to cure your infection problems. Never trust a website that hasn't been verified to have a good reputation, and never download something like Vista Scan Repair without knowing what it is exactly.
• Most insidiously of all, Vista Scan Repair can be downloaded and installed by trojans that infect your computer secretively. All that you need to do wrong for this to happen is to visit a dangerous website which can subject you to drive-by download script exploits.

If you're using Windows 2000, 9x, XP, Vista or Windows 7 you're vulnerable to being hit by Vista Scan Repair. Keep yourself appropriately secure if you're using one of these systems, and have active and updated security software as a matter of course.

Letting Vista Scan Repair 'Repair' Your PC Is Not a Good Idea

Several major problems are plain to see when you're dealing with Vista Scan Repair. Vista Scan Repair will create fake alerts, announcements and general warnings that have absolutely no validity in reality, advising you on nonexistent malware infections and other system problems. Even your startup routine will be compromised as Vista Scan Repair tries to start itself with Windows and force you to 'scan' your computer. Don't bother worrying about the bad scan results Vista Scan Repair gives you - they're all fake.

Vista Scan Repair may also block your anti-malware and Windows diagnostic software from running to shield itself from removal. Don't be disheartened by this negative behavior, though – in most cases a simple reboot into Safe Mode will let you regain program access and delete Vista Scan Repair.

Beware of potential browser hijacks when using a Vista Scan Repair-infected system. Many rogue applications like Vista Scan Repair will change browser settings to redirect your browser to dangerous websites, change search results and block positive websites. As with the general application interference, this can often be avoided with Safe Mode, so don't let Vista Scan Repair interfere with your ability to really repair your PC!
