Windows Trojans Sleuth

Although Windows Trojans Sleuth resembles an anti-virus program, Windows Trojans Sleuth is actually part of a large group of fake anti-virus programs released in early 2012. These fake security programs belong to a family of rogue security applications that have been attacking computer systems since 2009. This family of malware is known as VirusDoctor and is part of a well-known scam. Despite the years that have gone by, there is substantially no difference between Windows Trojans Sleuth and previous versions of this rogue security program. Periodically, criminals release new versions of these malware threats with slight tweaks to the programs' interface and with different names. This allows criminals to recycle the same malicious code while at the same time staying one step ahead of PC security researchers and anti-malware software.

Windows Trojans Sleuth's family of rogue security tools is one of the many kinds of rogue anti-virus programs, since Windows Trojans Sleuth does not limit itself to displaying fake error messages; Windows Trojans Sleuth is also capable to take over the infected computer system and to take out any Windows components and software that Windows Trojans Sleuth perceives as threats to its own existence (such as the Windows Registry Editor, Windows System Restore, most anti-virus software, and the Windows Task Manager). Because of this, removing Windows Trojans Sleuth will usually require the computer user to reboot Windows in Safe Mode or to use a CD to boot Windows.
