If you are finding it difficult to get rid of Error Repair Professional it is because this seemingly auspicious utility is in reality a malicious rogue defragmenter. This rogue only pretends to be a useful application capable of improving the system’s performance. In truth it is nothing more than a malicious rogue defragmenter out to rip its victims off. It will use any tactic at its disposal to facilitate its nefarious infiltration of the system. At the end of the day Error Repair Professional does not have any of the abilities it professes to, and certainly cannot detect or fix any errors on the system.
Error Repair Professional makes use of established forms of infection to root itself into its victims’ PCs. It makes use of fake online scanners and seditious browser hijacking websites distributing Trojan horse infections like Zlob and Vundo. Error Repair Professional comes bundled with these and similar Trojans which can infiltrate a vulnerable PC and execute itself. The installer is called ErrorRepairProfessional.exe, and is 1.22MB in size. Error Repair Professional also operates under the following aliases across the web:
Spyware.Keylogger!rem
Generic.dx!srl
Gen.Trojan
Once the rogue manages to securely root itself in the system it will generate a fake system scan which will inform the user that his PC is being crippled by sever errors. It will inform the user that the only way to fix these errors and restore his system to a working state is by paying for a Error Repair Professional license.
Shortly following this the user will begin experiencing severely annoying symptoms that will eventually completely cripple his PC. The user will find that he is unable to execute any applications on the infected PC, and that his Internet connection has been blocked. Error Repair Professional does this in an effort to further panic and annoy the user, but also to prevent him from running or downloading any application which may be able to detect and remove Error Repair Professional from the system.
Users have also complained about increased erratic system behavior and extremely poor system performance. In an effort to further confuse the user and any installed security software, Error Repair Professional will generate and delete random Desktop items and hide certain folders’ contents from the user.
In order to limit the damage this malicious rogue will cause users are urged to get rid of Error Repair Professional immediately. This will prevent the rogue from causing any more damage to the system and will also protect the user from any future similar threats.
