PC Scout Descriptions:

PC Scout is the scareware program promoted through the use of Trojans which are able to configure Windows Registry in such a way that PC Scout opens automatically as Windows boots, and creates additional files there. These files are later recognized as malicious by the system itself. PC Scout is from the same developers as Protection System.

After the application is installed, it starts its nasty job. First, after rebooting of Windows, PC Scout scans your personal computer, and, of course, finds a list of infections. Besides, warnings are displayed on your screen. However, these are only traps to make you believe that your machine is having serious problems and you must remove them. PC Scout gives the opportunity to get rid of them by buying the full version of the software.
