KeepCop Description

KeepCop (or KeepCop) is a misleading security application that is spread through sneaky Trojans. KeepCop may also be downloaded directly from its website by unsuspecting users. Once KeepCop has entered a victim’s system, a fake system scan is conducted which will report that the system is severely infected with several parasites. Following the frequent display of irritating pop-ups and warning messages, the victim will be advised to purchase the full version of KeepCop. The scan report displayed by KeepCop is fabricated; KeepCop is not capable of detecting or removing any malicious parasites.
