What File Recovery virus does
Like other malicious programs from the same family of fake optimization tools, File Recovery can be installed without you noticing that, through the use of trojans. It does not require your agreement!
When installed, the rogue will perform a fake system and a lot of critical errors. Some of the errors:
- Drive C initialization error
- Read time of hard drive clusters less than 500 ms
- 32% of HDD space is unreadable
- Bad sectors on hard drive or damaged file allocation table
Remember, the scan results are a fake, this malware is unable to detect any problems. So you should never trust this fake application and ignore all that it will display you.
While File Recovery is running, it will display numerous alerts and warnings. Some of the warnings:
Critical Error! RAM memory usage is critically high. RAM memory failure.However, the rogue just uses the fake alerts to make the scam look more realistic. You should ignore all of them.
Critical Error! Hard Drive not found. Missing hard drive.
Critical Error! Damaged hard drive clusters detected. Private data is at risk.
Remember, File Recovery is created only for one to trick you into purchasing the full version of the software. Instead, remove it as soon as you notice it installed on the system. Follow the File Recovery virus removal instructions.
