Internet Security
Internet Security Description
Internet Security is a member of the FakeRean family of fake anti-malware programs. According to its pop-up alerts and scanner simulations, Internet Security pretends to offer protection from spyware and other types of PC threats, but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers emphasize Internet Security’s complete inability to find or remove any sort of actual and malicious software. Like other members of its family, Internet Security will launch itself without permission and may do so repeatedly whenever you try to open an executable file to prevent you from disabling Internet Security and facilitating its removal with anti-malware software. Like most forms of fake security programs, Internet Security’s foremost goal is to gain access to your credit card information and linked finances, and it’s recommended that you never purchase Internet Security, even as a step to assist with its total deletion.Internet Security: Hollow Security Software That’s Wallpapered with Lies
Internet Security does have the basic appearance of a seemingly functional type of anti-malware scanner, but Internet Security’s looks are also a clear giveaway to its true intentions, since Internet Security is visually identical to other clones from the FakeRean family such as Win 7/Vista/XP Smart Defender, AntiSpy Safeguard, Vista Antivirus 2008, Windows 7 Internet Security 2012, Win 7 Home Security Pro 2013, Vista Smart Defender Pro, Win 7 Security 2012, Win 7/Win 8/XP Defender 2013, Internet Protector, Antispyware Pro 2012, XP Smart Defender Pro, Win 7 Defender, XP Internet Security 2013, Vista Home Security 2013, Antivirus2008Pro, XP Internet Security Pro 2013, Windows Vista Internet Security 2012, Windows Antivirus 2008, Win 7 Antispyware 2013, XP Security 2013, Win 8 Defender 2013, Windows 7 Antispyware 2012, Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro, Win Server Defender, Vista Defender, Win 7 Smart Defender Pro, Win 7 AntiVirus 2012, Vista Antivirus 2013, Antivirus2008, Privacy Protection, Win 8 Antispyware 2013, Win 7 Security 2013, Internet Security Premium, Internet Security Pro 2013, Vista Antispyware 2013, Win 7/XP/Vista Protection 2013, Internet Security 2014, Internet Security Protection, Vista Security 2013, XP Home Security 2012, Win 7 Internet Security 2013, Palladium Pro, XP Anti-Virus 2011, Windows Vista Antivirus 2012, XP Antispyware 2013, Win 7 Security Plus 2013, CleanThis, Vista Antivirus 2012, Win 7 Internet Security 2012, Vista Security 2012, XP Home Security 2013, Internet Security 2013, Windows Vista Security 2012, XP Security Cleaner Pro, Vista Antivirus 2008, XP Security 2012, Antivirus Pro 2009, Vista Security Plus 2013, Internet Security 2012, ThinkPoint, Spyware Protection 2010, Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013, PC Defender Plus, Windows XP Internet Security 2012, XP Total Security 2013, XP Internet Security 2012, Win 8 Security System, Win 7 Internet Security 2011, Win 8 Antivirus 2013, Internet Security Pro, AntivirusXP 2008, PCclean Pro, Windows Essentials Pro 2013, Internet Security Plus, Vista Internet Security 2012, Win 7 Antivirus 2013, Win 8 Home Security 2013, Win 8 Security Suite 2013, XPdefender, XP Security Plus 2013, XP Antivirus 2013, Win 7 Home Security 2013 and Vista Security Cleaner Pro. SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you completely disregard scanner results, taskbar notifications, pop-up alerts and other forms of fake information that Internet Security may try to feed you; this can even include falsified warnings about problems with specific applications.
Other characteristics by which Internet Security can be identified include:
- Browser-hijacking redirects that take you away from security websites or towards sites that promote Internet Security.This can also include modified browser settings such as a changed homepage.
- A fake Security Center applet that replaces the real Windows Security Center with a non-functional display – other than its ability to link you to hostile websites.
- Automatic startup behavior by Internet Security, which will, once launched, attempt to resist being closed by normal methods – even if Internet Security has to run as a background process to do so.
Ripping Down Internet Security’s Self-Serving Propaganda
Although Internet Security may include a fake or poorly functional removal tool, SpywareRemove.com malware research team recommends the usage of a real anti-malware program to be certain of removing all of Internet Security’s components. If Internet Security appears to block your software, you may need to use additional measures, such as booting into Safe Mode (which can be accessed by tapping F8 before Windows starts to load) to insure that Internet Security is unable to stop your system scans.
Along with its characteristic attacks, you may also be able to detect Internet Security or one of its clones by watching for similar types of unlikely and alarming system alerts. These fraudulent alerts can be recognized by the following text:
“Spyware alarm!
Our scan has reported that pieces of malicious spyware code are present on your hard drive. To get rid of security threats, click here for a [Rogue security program name] scan.”
“Windows Security Center reports that Internet Security is enable. Internet Security helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Click Recommendations for the suggested actions. Your system might be at risk now.
Note: Windows has detected an unregistered version of ‘[Rogue security program name]‘”
“Trojan detected!
A piece of malicious code was found in your system which can replicate itself if no action is taken. Clicked here to have your system cleaned by Internet Security.”
“WARNING! Internet Security has found [random number] useless and UNWANTED files on your computer!”
