File Restore Rogue Optimization and Hard Drive Repair App Designated as a Dangerous Money Extractor

Oct. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- The File Restore application is presented much like legitimate hard drive repair and PC optimization programs on the current software market. File Restore feeds off of its cleverly designed interface to pass itself off as something that PC users should use and purchase. Unfortunately, that notion of File Restore being useful, has been debunked in a new report released by security experts at EnigmaSoftware.com

File Restore is known to display several misleading pop-up messages in an effort to gain the trust of PC users by letting them know they have hard drive issues or errors that need addressing. Of course in true hacker-fashion, the File Restore program offers itself for a ridiculous price to supposedly fix those issues that it found. By purchasing File Restore it will not enable any type of repairs to occur. Instead, File Restore would have taken a PC user’s money in return for an aggravating and bogus application.

File Restore may come from various sources over the internet, such as porn sites or hacked sites laced with malware. Within the removal report for File Restore, security researchers were able to elaborate on the origins and objectives of File Restore. Through this knowledge, PC users are able to adhere to the shared information to limit the chances of having their PC infected with future threats related to File Restore.

Through the analysis performed by the security experts at EnigmaSoftware.com, the determination of  File Restore being related to older fake optimization applications was verified. These programs, such as File Recovery, are also used as a money extortion tool and do not provide any usable functions. Basically, File Restore and other fake optimization or defragmentation tools are designed to perform deceptive actions to swindle money out of PC users and nothing more.
