SmartScan will display fake "critical error" message stating that the hard drive is unreadable or damaged. In fact, if the hard drive is unreadable, how can the program run (as the program is in the hard drive too)? SmartScan also prevent the user from running other Windows programs or downloading any software from internet!

SmartScan should be removed immediately!
