System Healer

What is System Healer?

System Healer is an unwanted "PC repair" tool that uses deceptive marketing practices to get users to purchase the paid version. In addition we have seen System Healer download and bundle additional malware (ad-injection adware) on the user's PC without notice or consent.

Overview

During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named SystemHealer.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 5.28 MB (5,539,713 bytes).
