File Recovery Removal Guide
File Recovery is a computer infection from the
Rogue.FakeHDD
family of scareware programs. This family of computer infections
pretends to be a hard drive diagnostic and repair programs that scans
your hard drives for errors and then allows you to fix them. In reality,
though, this program is a computer virus that displays false
information, hijacks your computer, and hides your files and Windows
start menu in order to make you think that your hard drive is failing.
This family of computer infections is spread through Trojans that
display fake error messages on your computer. When you click on one of
these messages it will then launch the File Recovery program in the
hopes that you will purchase it.
Once installed, File Recovery will be configured to start automatically when you
login to Windows. Once started, it will pretend to perform a Check routine that supposedly examines your hard drive for errors. When it has finished it will present you with a Repair
screen that displays a summary of the issues you supposedly have with
your computer and hard drives. If you attempt to repair any of these
problems using File Recovery, though, it will first state that you need
to purchase the program before it will allow you to do so. Some of the
hard drive problems that it will display include:
Hard drive boot sector reading error
System blocks were not found
Error 0x00000024 - NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
Error 0x00000078 - INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Error 0x0000002E - DATA_BUS_ERROR
Error 0x00000050 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
The DRM attribute value is too small before disk scan
As this program is a scam do not be scared into purchasing the program when you see these alerts.
