Personal Security Removal Guide
Do you know what Personal Security is?
DESCRIPTION
Personal Security is yet another rogue anti-spyware application. This program states that it has been designed to protect, but that is completely FALSE! Personal Security is a complete scam! In fact, Personal Security was designed with the sole purpose of ripping unsuspecting computer users off and is very simmiliar to Cyber Security, Total Security, Total Security 2009, Total Security 4.52 and System Security! Personal Security makes its way from PC to PC via Trojan infections and via misleading advertising on dubious websites – across the internet. Once this corrupt software infects a computer it will display all sorts of security warnings, threat alerts and scan results that are all fake.
In non-techie terms:
These fake warnings are designed to make you, the user, freak out and purchase the full version of the software – in an attempt to franticly clean and rid your PC of all unwanted activity. Unfortunately it‘s all a scam! Personal Security is a useless tool for computer users, but a wonderful tool for hackers! It does NOT clean infections from computers and it does NOT protect against future infections. Do not trust Personal Security, it’s a SCAM!
Aliases: PersonalSecurity, Personal.Security.
