Description:

Windows 7 Restore is a fake Windows repair program which infects your computer, hides your programs, and tries to force you to buy it. Windows 7 Restore pretends to scan your computer for viruses then claims to find various infections. If you accept to remove the alleged infections, you are directed to their payment page in order to purchase the full version.

Windows 7 Restore changes its name based on the computer operation system it infects. So on XP PC's, it becomes Windows 7 Restore, on Vista PC's the name changes to Windows 7 Restore and on Windows 7 PC's the name becomes Windows 7 Restore.

The fact that Windows 7 Restore arrives at your computer without your knowledge makes it also a trojan. In order for Windows 7 Restore to stop you from removing it, it attempts to disable your existing antivirus and antispyware programs and to block access to help forums and to major name brand antispyware and antivirus vendor websites.

Windows 7 Restore is normally installed by means of a trojan or by drive-by downloads from rogue websites. In some cases, it can be mistakenly downloaded from one of many fraudulent Fake Scanner Sites.

Windows 7 Restore displays exaggerated fake scan results similar to those shown below:
