Virus Removal Videos: Svchost.exe – Corrupt Disk. Fake HDD’s alert

The popup message that says “Svchost.exe – Corrupt Disk” is a fake alert associated with the new version of System Repair malware (fake hard drive defragmenter). This scam pops up periodically while System Repair runs its fake scan. The purpose of this and many other fake error notifications is to scare users into thinking their system is out of order. Hence, below is one of the most widely spread fake disk errors reported by this rogue:
