Windows System Integrity

By Domesticus in Rogue Anti-Spyware Program

Windows System Integrity is the name of a rogue security application that is known for having a large number of clones. Programs like Windows System Integrity infiltrate a computer system, cause a large number of problems, and then attempt to have the user buy a phony security application to solve these problems.
 

How Windows System Integrity Infiltrates a Computer System

Windows System Integrity usually attacks a computer with the aid of a Trojan. Typical Trojans associated with Windows System Integrity and its clones include the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan and Zlob. These will usually be downloaded from an attack website and then will use different tactics to get the computer user to download Windows System Integrity or one of its many clones.
 

The Many Ridiculously Named Clones of Windows System Integrity

Windows System Integrity has dozens of clones, with new ones released almost daily. Due to the large number of clones and the fact that the creators of these rogue security programs probably are Russian, the majority of these clones have names that don't make a lot of sense. While Windows System Integrity is a name that could plausibly be associated with an official Microsoft security application, others like Windows Proofness Guarantor and Windows Vulnerabilities Rescuer have names that are somewhat ridiculous.
