System Fix scam

System Fix malware

The malware bearing the name of System Fix (also titled and referred to in some search engine queries as SystemFix) has the cruelest of intentions with regard to you and your computer. First of all it aims to make you one of its victims by actually prompting you into paying for its license or activation code. Here is how this trick actually works. Upon successful infiltration to your PC without your consent this fake HDD actually ruins your file system. The list of its numerous malicious amendments in your file structure can be quite a long one. By the way, we have recently published one article describing such unauthorized system modifications initiated by System Fix scam. It first presents the senseless repeated series of fake system failure messages known as Windows – Delayed Write Failed. We’ve counted about 21 of such notifications (the quantity may differ, however). Needless to say, to find out about such problem would be something really out of the blue for unwary PC user. But this is simply the beginning of the series of bogus and numerous popups about various sorts of problems allegedly peculiar to your PC. At this very moment or so the files, folders, icons, desktop, shortcuts and the list of installed programs on your PC would actually disappear (become hidden). This is the job of System Fix virus. Some users think that the data was deleted but this is not true. These important files were simply relocated to another folders specially designated by System Fix hoax. Then the message actually recommends you to run certain tool which would allegedly help you eradicate all those bugs. Once the user agrees to this proposal the very window with the GUI of System Fix rogue actually appears in front of him/her. So, the virus first messes up your system and then tells you to buy it to have it fixed with the same virus. Don’t you think this is at least unfair? Don’t you see the traces of frauds in all such tricks? Yes, unambiguously.

But in reality they are originated by hackers, spammers and cyber frauds aiming to make you one of their victims. You’ve got to be really careful if you receive any of such e-mails. The screenshot in the left part of this article clearly depicts how exactly these fabricated and malicious USPS emails look like. As you clearly see, they have certain attachment named as post_label.zip or post_label.exe . The e-mail prompts you into opening it as well as the attachment. As you see, the trick of this plot is as follows. The e-mail says that the postman or driver allegedly came to your house with the parcel for you while you were away. The message also says that in order to receive it you must indicate a special post label which you can supposedly retrieve in the attachment. However, once the attachment is actually opened the malware installation file would be finally executed, thus bringing the malwares like System Fix into your PC. By the way, there are chances that this virus will be soon modified and slightly amended to bear the new name. This might take place today or several weeks later because the cyber frauds are awake all the time trying to create new rogue and fake hard drive defragmenters like System Fix hoax.
