Trust Ninja Removal Guide

Trust Ninja is a fake security client. While it does not do a hole lot of harm to your system it is very annoying and a clear sign you might have other more dangerous trojans on your computer. This fake security software tends to get installed via a fake video codec. This is not always the case but it happen’s a lot. One installed on your computer it will run a scan and show bogus scan results. This is all a scam to take your hard earned money. The most annoying part I found on Trust Ninja is the warnings that kept coming up. This program can be very annoying but once again this fake client by it’s self at this point and time does not seem to be doing a whole lot of damage. The large question at heart is what other viruses do you have on your computer that came down with this infection. The removal guide is below and it will show you how to remove Trust Ninja from your computer. However we do strongly recommend you run a full in-depth scan of your computer to ensure you have no other viruses installed.

Some symptoms of Trust Ninja Removal Bot:

* Bogus Scan results * Auto Scans on Start-up and stays active * Warning coming out of a fake shield in the system tray * pop-ups and re-directs to the fake software’s website * constant warnings of being infected as well as false statements of other trojans.
