A-Secure 2015

What is A-Secure 2015?

A-Secure 2015 is fake anti-virus software, which attempts to scare PC user into believing that their computers have been infected with high-risk malware, viruses, and Trojans. This rogue application infiltrates operating systems using infected email attachments, torrent downloads, security exploits, etc.

After successful infiltration, A-Secure 2015 imitates a computer security scan and then generates a long list of supposedly-detected malware. Be aware that A-Secure 2015 holds no virus definition database or any features that would allow this application to detect any of the security infections listed.
