What is Malware Protection Center?

Malware Protection Center is a fake computer security program that attempts to mimic the interface of Microsoft Security Essentials. This fake program is created by those responsible for Internet Security Guard, Home Security Solution, and others.

Like its previous versions, Malware Protection Center bears no relation to genuine computer security programs and contains no virus definition database or features offered by legitimate security suites. Malware Protection Center is a scam created to scare computer users into buying a non-existent license.

What is Internet Security 2012?

Internet Security 2012 is a fake computer security scanner, a rogue program that attempts to imitate a legitimate antivirus program. Internet Security 2012 is derived from the same family of rogue programs as Privacy Protection, Security Protection, and others. Like its previous versions, this bogus program is distributed using misleading methods.

Your computer may become infected with Internet Security 2012 by downloading Flash Player updates from non legitimate sources, or by being tricked into installing it via fake online security scanner pop-ups. When Internet Security 2012 infects your computer, it completely overrides your operating system's settings.

What is System Fix?

System Fix is a fake computer optimizer that attempts to scare computer users into purchasing a fake license. Like its previous versions (System Restore, Data Restore, Data Repair), this fake optimizer employs various methods to intimidate computer users into believing that their computer hardware components have serious issues and that they could lose their stored information.

What is Security Sphere 2012?

Security Sphere 2012 is a fake computer scanner derived from the same family of rogue software as Security Shield, a previous version widely distributed by Internet criminals. Security Sphere 2012 is proliferated through misleading websites, which show fake online security scans or provide fake Flash Player updates.

When this bogus program infects your PC, it performs a fake security scan each time you start your computer. This fake scan reports supposedly detected malware on your computer.

Do not delete these 'detected' files manually, since Security Sphere 2012 does not actually scan your hard drive for malware - the process is imitated and this fake program reports legitimate Windows system files as being infected. When your PC is infected, you will also notice various security warning pop-ups; as with the security scan, these pop-ups are fake.

This is an attempt by the program to scare you into believing that your computer is highly infected and it encourages you to buy a fake license for a non existent full version.

What is Security Monitor 2012?

Security Monitor 2012 is a fake computer security scanner derived from the same family of misleading applications as Security Solution 2011. This fake computer scanner is often distributed through misleading websites, which display online security scans or provide bogus updates for Flash Player or other legitimate software packages.

Your computer may become infected with Security Monitor 2012 reading email or browsing misleading websites. You should be especially careful whilst reading emails; do not open attachments if you are not certain that the sender is a legitimate person/company.

What is Internet Security Guard?

Internet Security Guard is a fake PC security program that attempts to imitate a legitimate security suite. Like its previous versions - System Smart Security, Home Security Solutions, and  others - this rogue program is distributed using misleading methods including fake online security scans and fake Flash Player updates in order to trick unsuspecting computer users into installing Internet Security Guard.

To further trick you into believing that this is a legitimate program, Internet Security Guard has copied its interface from Microsoft Security Essentials - a trusted security program. When Internet Security Guard self-installs on your computer, it performs a fake security scan and 'detects' multiple security problems.

When you click 'Protect Now', you are redirected to a website where you will be asked to purchase a license for Internet Security Guard in order to remove the supposedly detected security issues.

What is Home Security Solutions?

Home Security Solutions is a rogue anti-spyware program created by Internet criminals. This fake scanner is a copy of its previous versions: Home Safety Essentials, System Smart Security, Best Malware Protection, and many others.

Like its previous versions, Home Security Solutions is distributed using fake Flash Player updates or by tricking computer users via fake online security scanner pop-ups. When installed on your computer, this bogus program changes the registry of your operating system so that it starts automatically each time you boot your PC.

Home Security Solutions then performs a fake security scan resulting in the 'detection' of a wide range of security issues on your system.

What is Super AV?

Super AV is a rogue computer security program and a copy of its previous version, Antivirii 2011. Like its predecessor, Super AV is an unprofessional bogus program created using a Napalm Rogue Builder.

Internet criminals use this builder to change the names of payment gateways. When your computer is infected with Super AV, various warning messages are displayed, reporting that your PC is in danger and that you need to purchase Super AV in order to remove the 'detected' security issues.

What is Antivirii 2011?

Antivirii 2011 is a rogue computer security scanner; a variant of its previous version, Antivirus Clean 2011. Internet criminals changed the name and interface of their bogus program and began distributing it once more.

Antivirii 2011 is often distributed through fake online security scanners. These pop-ups are created in order to trick computer users into believing that their computers are infected.

What is AV Secure 2012?

AV Secure 2012 is a fake computer security scanner. This rogue program is derived from a large family of misleading computer security scanners such as Cloud AV 2012, AV Protection 2011, and many others.
