Windows System Manager is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses the name 'Windows' to confuse PC users into thinking that it's a genuine Windows application. Windows System Manager is another version of several rogue anti-spyware programs such as Windows Salvor Tool, Windows Easy Supervisor, Windows Debugging Agent, Windows Debugging Center and Windows System Integrity. Once installed, Windows System Manager will run a scan of your machine, display fictitious error alerts, and then allege that it is infected with several viruses. Windows System Manager will also generate some fabricated malware files that are absolutely harmless, but later, during the scan, Windows System Manager will label them as trojans and viruses. Windows System Manager is promoted and distributed with the aid of Trojans, which are found in bogus online scanners web pages or malicious PDF files, fake video codecs or malware-laced links on social networking sites. Do not hesitate and remove Windows System Manager from your machine with a real anti-spyware program.
