Smart HDD is surely the scareware that represents danger for your file integrity. In fact, this program ruins your system settings and your personalized (customized) way of arranging computer parameters. The hoax does it by deleting your files, folders, desktop icons, shortcuts, quick launch items and even the list of all programs in the Start menu, leaving just a couple of applications, including its own folders. However, it also creates the backup copy of your data, even though it hides it in a special folder called “smtmp” (that has a hidden attribute). This is another scary method applied by hackers to make you worried for your important information. So, as you see, the fact of presence of this Trojan horse-generated hoax on your machine is not comforting at all. In reality, the scam acts like this – it comes to your PC without approval on your part, it infects it with its malicious files, registry entries and running processes, and, finally, it modifies your PC in a manner that allows it to be launched on your computer automatically each time you switch your PC on. Then the rogue arranges its bogus scan of your system followed by the same misleading and fabricated error reports. The only goal of them is to make you scared for the condition of your computer with such a bountiful untrue information about it status. There are, in fact, plenty of invented problems, errors, bugs and troubles the rogue reports. Nothing, in fact, should be trusted by you if it is reported by this scam.
