How to remove SystemCop rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
SystemCop (aka System Cop) is a new fake anti-spyware utility emanating from the same malware family as BlockDefense, SaveDefense, SaveSoldier, SaveKeep and a string of other dangerous rogues released by WiniSoft hackers. SystemCop has the exact same Graphical User Interface (GUI) as its above-mentioned forerunners – but for the program name, of course (which is probably the only difference. SystemCop installs in a hidden manner, i.e. without one’s awareness – that’s because the rogueware uses trojan viruses to assist in infiltrating a random computer system via security exploits. After the malware gets successfully inside, it configures the new host system to run SystemCop executable every single time the PC starts. Therefore, SystemCop fake scanners and its annoying bogus pop-ups will accompany the victim’s everyday PC use routine. Since SystemCop reports a variety of infections on the compromised computer, it asks the user to remove them – but first, he/she needs to purchase System Cop full version. Please, do not go that far and prevent SystemCop malware from brainwashing you. Just stick to the instructions below and remove SystemCop rogue anti-spyware as soon as it attacks your system.
