How to remove Soft Cop rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Soft Cop (aka SoftCop) does not enter your system like a regular application – it literally breaks into it and ignores any and all authentication. Soft Cop is a bad example of a program to be installed on one’s computer because it is rogue and relates to the WiniGuard family that as well comprises Soft Soldier, Trust Cop, SecuritySoldier, SaveSoldier and a lot of other suchlike nasty programs. Soft Cop installs without asking for user permission and actively exploits trojan viruses for that purpose. Once on your machine, Soft Cop affects the system by creating its own files and registry keys that are harmful and potentially system-destructive unless found and deleted on time. Soft Cop overfills the hacked system with the enormous number of its ads (random pop-ups, system tray alerts and scanners) which are completely faked hence untrustworthy. Soft Cop triggers all of its dishonest adware because it wants to persuade you that your computer is being threatened by numerous malware risks. On this background, Soft Cop will offer you to install its commercial copy that is alleged to help you out with the complicated malware problems you supposedly have. In the meantime, it needs to be mentioned that Soft Cop is probably the only thing that jeopardizes your PC because it tries to mislead you and puts your system at risk. All the bad stuff reported by Soft Cop is a dummy used for intimidating purpose only. So you actual enemy is nothing but Soft Cop itself; hurry and remove SoftCop before it does something really disruptive to your system and your own privacy.
