Overall Risk Level: 
SoftCop will disguise as a program that “Help protect your PC.” SoftCop virus is already tagged as rogue security application because security experts found that its campaign to be sold and spread is being lead by a Trojan. This Trojan is also capable of getting SoftCop inside a computer. At first, users will be redirected to a scam website where the installation files were hosted. This site will also produce fake alert messages to convince their visitors for a SoftCop downloading and installation. Once inside the system, this program will drop random files as part of its “play” into deceiving users. These files will later be detected as threats when the virus scan was launch automatically. Next to detection is the most important part, and that is removing the virus. SoftCop only option given is to remove the virus by paying for the license first. Clicking on “Remove” button will redirect users to a payment process website where the credit card can be debited for the given amount.
Removing SoftCop manually is not suitable for ordinary computer users. It requires technical knowledge to remove infected system files and deleting of added values in the Windows registry. We have provided a simple and easy to use SoftCop removal tool on this page. Just follow it carefully.

I followed this to the letter. But after restarting my pc, and when I used MalwareBytes to scan my pc again, it didn’t detect Softcop anymore. But Softcop still keeps on popping up! HELP!!!
To remove the softcop worm, you do not need to purchase any software. Click start and go into menu. Click programmes, accessories, system tools and then click on system restore. This ‘restores’ you system to how it was prior to the softcop infiltration. Windows will ask you to chose a date to restore the computer to and I would suggest you input a day or two before you became aware of the worm. When completing a system restore, you do not lose any files, folders etc, but you will need to double check that your anti virus and window updates are up to date. Also check in Microsoft Security Centre that your filewall is set to ON. The restore process can take a couple of hours but it will get rid of the softcop worm. I had it, now its gone.
