Trojan.Fakecopyright is a Trojan program that prompts users to pay a fee for copyrighted material discovered on compromised systems. On penetration of a computer system, Trojan.Fakecopyright will scan the computer for files with the .torrent extension and then inform the user that it has detected copyrighted content on his/her computer. The user will then be given the option to pay for the "copyrighted" material or go to court. Should the user decide to click on the option to pay, he/she will be redirected to a malicious website where the payment can be made. Do not become a victim of this scam, instead use a reliable anti-spyware tool to remove Trojan.Fakecopyright immediately.
