“System error. hard disk failure detected” virus is a dangerous rogue program which is quite similar to Smart HDD virus or Data Recovery virus with the same purpose that pretends to be a legal security software trying to rob your money. Once it catches your computer there will pop up a dialog box that listed “System Error. Hard Disk Failure detected. It’s highly recommended to run a complete hard drive scan to prevent loss of personal files.” The two buttons in the box were “scan and repair” or “cancel and restart”. Once you click any of them, you computer will be locked immediately by this rogue and offer you a link to send money to the intended hackers so that you can get you computer unlocked. Besides the dialog box, there could be a lot of other cascading boxes all layered on top of each other that indicating threats on your computer needs to be removed. In this case, please do not press any buttons that pop up otherwise your computer will be locked as well. In the taskbar, the pop up says “Critical Error. Drive sector not found error.” Sometimes all the desktop folders disappeared and soon the computer shut itself off, when you restarted it then you got all the error messages again. Some infected users also noticed this rogue would delete all of the files in any folders that were open.
