Information about Soft Stronghold
Soft Stronghold is a fake security application that shouldn’t be trusted under any circumstances. SoftStronghold is just one more program in the WiniSoft family of rogues, and as such, it uses fraudulent tactics in order to gain a huge profit for its creators. This badware, similarly to it's predecessors Soft Cop, Soft Soldier or Soft Veteran, makes people think that their computers are infected and asks for money to take care of those "infections" afterwards. This scheme is used by numbers of other fraudulent programs, so don’t take any alert you receive from Soft Stronghold seriously. You should get rid of Soft Stronghold right after detection.
Soft Stronghold is distributed through the use of Trojans. The rogue enters the system without the user's knowledge or consent. Once inside, Soft Stronghold drops some registry keys and creates its own files which are later marked as infections. The program bombards the user with fake system scanners and security alerts that run everytime at startup in hopes of misleading the user. Every pop-up loaded by this scam announces about the security risk that can be fixed only using the “full” version of Soft Stronghold, which costs quite a bit of money. Save your computer by uninstalling this rogue anti-spyware, unless you want it to make your PC useless. Use our removal instructions and delete Soft Stronghold as soon as possible.
