Soft Veteran - How to remove

SoftVeteran is a rogue anti-spyware program from the WiniBlueSoft family of rogues, which has created countless clones during the last several months. This parasite is no different than it’s predecessors in the sense that it uses trojans and drive-by downloads to infect PCs, and also because it relies on misleading advertising to trick people into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.

Upon entering the system SoftVeteran does several things: it starts displaying popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform the user of an infection or multiple infections present on the system, in hopes of persuading him to download SoftVeteran. It will also perform fake scans, which mark harmless files as threats and urge the user to purchase the so-called “licensed version”, which is no more functional than the trial. SoftVeteran will hijack the browser and block security software, so as to prevent removal. Like most modern rogues, SoftVeteran may block Task Manager, Safe Mode, Registry Editor, and System Restore.

The home of this scam, softveteran.com, was created only a few months ago, which is suspicious for a company as reputable as these people claim to be. The domain is registered to a person, rather than a company, which is strange, and this person’s contact email is Gmail. The country of the registrant is listed as France, but it appears the server is in Russia, a country notorious for malware.

This program is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download it and remove SoftVeteran as soon as possible.
