ScanDisk is a newly created rogue application that borrowed a name of a legitimate program in order to trick computer users and earn money from them. It’s a program that pretends to be system defragmenter while in reality it has no useful functions at all.

ScanDisk infiltrates to computers through Trojan viruses. Once there it modifies some system parameters and completely occupies the system. It is configured to start automatically when computer boots up. Then Scan Disk runs system scanner which imitates looking for infections. The program reports about some hard drive problems and RAM memory issues which doesn’t allow the program to function in an ordinary way.

Moreover, it floods the system with tons of pop up ads and security notifications. They report about missing hard drive, hard drive error or RAM memory failure. These messages are as fake as the scan results by Scan Disk and they shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Both the scanner of Scan Drive and any of its messages will attempt to make you purchase a full version of Scan Drive in order to get your money. However, it will not provide any service of system optimization tool. It’s a scam created by cyber criminals so you shouldn’t do anything what it says. Security experts strongly recommend removing ScanDrive as soon as you notice it on your system.
