Smart Engine is a rogue antispyware program designed by cyber criminals in order to rip computer users off. The program is infiltrated to computer system through Trojan viruses that pretend to be video codec or some updates that are necessary in order to watch videos online.

When Smart Engine is installed and computer is restarted, the application immediately starts scanning the system. After a few minutes, it generates a list of infections and claims that they must be removed as soon as possible in order to avoid more damage done to your system. The truth is that Smart Engine displays files that have been created by the same Trojan that installed Smart Engine to the system. These files are completely harmless; however, Smart Engine will try to prove you the opposite.

The main goal of this rogue program is to sell its so called full version of the program. So basically it attempts to prove that purchasing Smart Engine is the only solution to fix all problems that damage your system. Additionally to the activity of a fake scanner Smart Engine causes tons of security notifications displayed on the desktop which look like this:
