Remove Personal Anti Malware Center
Despite the very official sounding name, this piece of software is merely a scam and it is actually malware in disguise. You need to remove it at once! It will claim to find several infections in your computer to force you to upgrade and buy the full version. In reality, these infections were actually put there by Personal Anti Malware Center itself and you are better off removing this badware immediately. If this malware announces that you need to purchase it, stop and don’t pay for it!
Malware like this will usually bog down your computer and slow down its performance to a crawl. It will block attempts to install legitimate antivirus programs and scanners. You might notice that your free disk space is getting smaller and smaller and more unknown files are popping up all over your system. Another symptom of rogue software like this is that you might find that your Internet connection slows down considerably.
The good news is you can fix these problems. Use a reputable antivirus software to remove it as quickly as possible. Also, avoid any shady websites and only download files from well-known and respected sources.

Remove Antimalware Doctor
If you have Antimalware Doctor on your PC, you need to remove it immediately! It might look like a free antivirus program but it just the opposite. If you do not delete this immediately, it will cause a lot of damage to your computer. You might get corrupted registry files and it may crash your computer, sometimes even permanently. Your data might get deleted and you can lose all those documents, pictures and other files on your PC. It could even steal your private information like passwords and credit card account which can then be used for other illegal activities.
This rogue anti-spyware is usually deposited by other malware like Trojans, spam attachments and viruses. You might have gotten it from downloading using peer-to-peer networks or through shady websites and ads.
On the surface, it will look like a legitimate anti-spyware program. Do not be fooled by this. Ignore any popups it might flash and do not pay for the “full” version of this software. It will not help you remove any viruses. On the contrary, it will deposit more malware on your PC if you do not remove it immediately.

Remove My Security Wall
My Security Wall is one of those malware that infects computer systems through treacherous trojans. Trojans are little programs that trick people into thinking they’re legitimate mp3s, video codecs, device drivers, or Flash player updates. People who are fond of visiting sites that feature different kinds of downloadable freebies are most susceptible to trojan attacks.
This program, however, is not your average trojan-riding malware. My Security Wall is disguised as a free antivirus program. Once it’s inside, it will automatically hijack your system by altering the Windows system registry. After that, it will be able to perform various tricks that, well, will make people believe it is the real thing.
My Security Wall is going to hound you with different kinds of attention-grabbing gimmicks. From virus scans to popup alerts to even infection reports. My Security Wall will pester you so much, you’ll do almost anything to get rid of it.
So how do you get rid of it? The answer’s not ‘by buying the full version of My Security Wall”, that’s for sure. Doing so will only expose your credit card information to fraudulent individuals. Unless of course you just want to know how it would feel like to be a victim of credit card fraud or event identity theft.

Remove Your PC Protector
Your PC Protector or My PC Protector, it doesn’t matter whose protector it is, they’re all malware. But seriously, Your PC Protector and My PC Protector are really two fake antispywares designed to milk money from unsuspecting victims.
The infection process of Your PC Protector is borrowed straight from a typical fake antispyware’s script. That is, sinister individuals plant trojans in websites that offer freebies, gullible victims get attracted to the freebies, download them, and voila! – their computer becomes infected.
Once inside, Your PC Protector “scans” your system and launches pop-ups warning you of the presence of malware threats. Of course, these are all just part of the show. There may not be any threat other than Your PC Protector itself, but just so the victim gets scared enough to heed the recommendations of the fake popups.
So what exactly are the recommendations? Well, the fake popups will urge you to purchase a so-called full version of Your PC Protector. The full version doesn’t do anything at all. But since the victim will be too scared, he won’t mind going ahead with the buy.
This happens to gullible people. However, if you’re smart, you won’t fall for their trap even if your system does get infected.
