Win32/FakeRemoc is a family of trojans that claim to scan for malware and display fake warnings of “malicious programs and viruses”. They inform the user that they need to pay money to register the software in order to remove these non-existent threats. These trojans may subvert an affected user's web activity, or attempt to download other malware, such as Trojan:Win32/Hiloti. They may also display dialogs that mimic the Windows Security Center.
 
Special Note:
Reports of Rogue Antivirus programs have been more prevalent as of late.  These are programs that generate misleading alerts and false detections in order to convince users to purchase illegitimate security software.  Some of these programs may display product names or logos in an apparently unlawful attempt to impersonate Microsoft products. 
 
To detect and remove this threat and other malicious software that may be installed in your computer, run a full-system scan with an up-to-date antivirus product such as the following:

Windows Defender detects and removes this threat.

This family of rogue security programs pretend to scan your PC for malware, and often report lots of infections. The program will say you have to pay for it before it can fully clean your PC.

However, the program hasn't really detected any malware at all and isn't really an antivirus or antimalware scanner. It just looks like one so you'll send money to the people who made the program. Some of these programs use product names or logos that unlawfully impersonate Microsoft products.

Even if you do pay to "unlock" the app, it won't do anything because your PC isn't actually infected with all that malware it "found".

Different brands of the rogues may modify various settings on your computer, end or close programs or system services, or block access to websites.
