SystemVeteran
SystemVeteran is a rogue security program that is especially dangerous. It infects computers through Trojan horses, malicious websites, fake online scanners, and may even be bundled with other malware. Once it has infected a computer, it will display fake security alerts claiming that the computer has been taken over by a malicious program. Though this is true, SystemVeteran won’t be referring to itself.
On top of fake security alerts, this rogue will hijack your browser and block a bunch of websites that sell legitimate security software. It will also pretend to be Windows Security Center and tell you to use SystemVeteran. What’s more, it will run fake system scans with falsified scan results and you will then be told to purchase the full version of this scam.
Don’t let this scam take advantage of you. Remove it as soon as you first notice it. If you wish to remove it manually, start by stopping these processes:

My laptop recently had this virus, SystemVeteran. I took it to a technician and he removed the virus. After 2 days, SystemVeteran was back… so I decided to install SpyZooka. The virus was removed and never came back.
Thank you SpyZooka!
