SmartScan Removal Guide

SmartScan Removal Guide
SmartScan is a fake disk defragmenter program. SmartScan will start automatically when Windows boot once it is installed in the computer. SmartScan will SURELY produce fake report on Windows Registry, system memory and hard drive in order to scare the user. SmartScan will urge the user to buy the full version of SmartScan so that to solve the problems stated. SmartScan can be removed by stopping all the processes which filename is formed by random characters. After, the files should be deleted.

SmartScan will display fake "critical error" message stating that the hard drive is unreadable or damaged. In fact, if the hard drive is unreadable, how can the program run (as the program is in the hard drive too)? SmartScan also prevent the user from running other Windows programs or downloading any software from internet!

SmartScan should be removed immediately!
