ErrorWiz
ErrorWiz is a rogue security application used to trick unsuspecting users out of their money. ErrorWiz is distributed by Trojans and once it is inside a PC it will create a registry entry that will enable it to execute with every system start-up. ErrorWiz will also generate fake system scans; security alerts and pop-up warnings in order scare a victim into believing that his/her system is infected. Then the victim will be prompted to purchase the "full version" of ErrorWiz in order to remove all the purportedly detected computer threats. This is all a scam. Users should not trust or purchase ErrorWiz.
