Total Security is just the latest in a long line of fake antivirus programs known as “rogue spyware”. How they work is they slip onto your computer through a trojan virus. A trojan virus (named after the Trojan Horse) acts like a benign application in order to allow you to install it. Often times you have no idea what you are allowing on your system. If you don’t have real time protection you may not notice anything at all! Once installed it will begin its work, spreading throughout your system and crippling your computers ability to function. Don’t let it remain on your system, remove Total Security immediately!
Symptoms Of Infection
- Your computer is acting slow. Total Security slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.
- You are getting pestered with pop ups. Total Security infects your registry and uses it to launch annoying pop up ads out of nowhere.
- Searches are redirected or your homepage and desktop are settings are changed. This is a symptom of a very serious Total Security infection.
Dangers Of Infection
Viruses like Total Security will infect your registry and other important system files. If the infection is not treated it can cause a complete collapse of your system.
Some Total Security infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
