This malware belongs to new version of defraggers, that try to imitate and then detect various hardware problems to present a faked solution for them.

Your browser will go haywire, your security programs will stop working, and you’ll be subjected to a string of WindowsRepair pop-ups showing made-up warnings.
Windows Repair is very aggressive and might make PC unusable for a while. It will show various alerts and block legitimate programs from launching to force user into believing there is something wrong with harddisk and other hardware components. While these components might break, the problems detected by Windows Repair are far from realistic and not solvable with software alone. For example, software would not fix error that “32% of HDD space is unreadable”. In most cases, this would require purchasing a new hard disk, as that means HDD exhausted its redundant storage capabilities. This would require purchasing a new hard disk and not some kind of optimization utility.
