Antivirus programs seem to be dime-a-dozen these days, however, you shouldn’t always trust what a purported “anti-virus” program tells you to do. It’s become a popular tactic among hackers to create malware programs and name them as if they were legitimate pieces of software. They also even act like them.
An example of this trend is the scareware program called Personal Internet Security 2011. This rogue anti-spyware program sneaks into your system via trojans; it installs itself without your knowledge and starts operating without your permission.
So what does it exactly do? Well,firstly, it adds files to your system; they’re usually harmless, but then it pops up an alert window that it has found a piece of malware in your PC. You can delete these files, of course, but they will keep coming back because this malware program just keeps on bringing them back or seeding new ones.
Any person would be very worried by the constant return of these files and the malware capitalizes on this by falsifying message alerts about the state of your computer. This is its main tactic – it tries to scare you into buying a full version of it; a “version” that will just disable the program from sending alerts for a short time. Don’t be fooled! Remove Personal Security 2011 from your PC as soon as possible. To find out the correct procedure for this removal, read on.
