How Did I Get Infected With SystemArmor ?
SystemArmor and badware just like it commonly end up on your computer due to the following causes. You will need to uninstall SystemArmor if you think you’re infected:
- Freeware or shareware: Many times freeware or shareware is secretly bundled with spyware. It is how the developers earn money for the time they spent. It’s a sneaky, but it’s fairly common.
- Peer-to-peer software: Do you use a peer-to-peer (P2P) program or other application with a shared network? When you use these applications, you put your system at risk for mistakenly downloading an infected file, including software like SystemArmor .
- Questionable websites: Malicious or questionable websites can install programs such as SystemArmor through security holes and automatic downloads, such as video codecs. If you feel your browser is unsafe, consider using the newest version of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer.

How Do I Remove SystemArmor ?
How to remove SystemArmor : There are two methods. The manual way and the automatic way. First – if you want to try and remove it manually (and I only recommend this to IT Professionals!) you must disable all related system processes, adjust all related system DLL files and registry files in the LOCAL_HKEY_USER folder, block all related websites, and delete all program files with the SystemArmor name. Below are the SystemArmor Removal Instructions.
SystemArmor Manual Removal Instructions:
Stop SystemArmor Processes:
uninstall.exe
SystemArmor.exe
Remove SystemArmor Registry Keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SystemArmor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SystemArmor
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “[random].exe”
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “SystemArmor”
Remove SystemArmor Files and Folders:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SystemArmor\1 SystemArmor.lnk

c:\WINDOWS\system32\[random].exe
%Temp%\[random].exe
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SystemArmor
c:\Program Files\SystemArmor Software\
c:\Program Files\SystemArmor Software\SystemArmor\
Note: In any SystemArmor files I mention above, “%UserProfile%” is a variable referring to your current user’s profile folder. If you’re using Windows NT/2000/XP, by default this is “C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER]” (e.g., “C:\Documents and Settings\JoeSmith”). If you have any questions about manual SystemArmor removal, go ahead and leave a comment.

Automatic Removal. It’s What I Choose.
The risks of manual removal make automatic removal an easy decision for me. I don’t have enough time in the day to manually remove every infection that I come across; it’s way too time consuming, and risky. It’s easy to miss a file if you’re not careful, and it’s easy to adjust the wrong file and be left with a paperweight for a computer.
