Windows Profound Security

Windows Profound Security Description

With no signs of stopping or even slowing down in SpywareRemove.com malware research team’s sight, Windows Profound Security is the latest attempt to trick innocent Internet surfers into believing that a FakeVimes-based piece of scamware is a genuine anti-malware scanner. Windows Profound Security launches with Windows as an excuse to display a varied series of fake warning messages and scanner results, all of which include bad intel on the PC threats that are seemingly attacking your computer with intentions ranging from altering the Windows Registry to stealing confidential information. Not only is there zero need to spend money on Windows Profound Security’s faux security services, but until Windows Profound Security is safely removed by a good anti-malware program, Windows Profound Security is even likely to harm your computer by blocking unrelated programs, changing your browser’s settings or disabling important Windows safety features.

The Twisted Profundity of Windows Profound Security’s Security Sham

Windows Profound Security may offer a glimpse into the worst of PC infections, but this isn’t because Windows Profound Security has any kind of PC threat-detection features; rather, it’s due to Windows Profound Security making up countless false positives as a way of promoting itself. Fake alerts from Windows Profound Security can imitate both general anti-malware alerts and warnings that appear to be sent by Windows itself, but other anti-malware programs, if even functional, will never corroborate Windows Profound Security’s findings. While Windows Profound Security’s foremost aim is to make you spend money on Windows Profound Security as an anti-malware solution, SpywareRemove.com malware research team stresses Windows Profound Security’s true nature as a rogue anti-malware product that doesn’t have any genuine solutions to offer your computer.

When Windows Profound Security is not trying to make you spend money on it, Windows Profound Security may also attack your browser settings, Registry settings and other aspects of your PC’s security, as noted in the following list:

Windows Profound Security may disable the Windows UAC, including its prompts regarding whether or not you wish to allow an action to change your PC.
Windows Profound Security may promote fake search engines by redirecting your browser to them.

Exposure to Windows Profound Security-promoted sites may also harm your PC by forcing it to load malicious content (drive-by-download scripts and similar exploits).
Along similar lines, you may also be unable to access PC security sites due to Windows Profound Security blocking them; you may also see a fake error page in this event.
A large range of other programs that are completely safe and unrelated to Windows Profound Security may also be blocked arbitrarily, especially including anti-malware, security, firewall and Windows diagnostics/maintenance applications. If you’re unable to remove Windows Profound Security because of this attack, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you use a removable hard drive-based system boot or Safe Mode to disable Windows Profound Security and any other PC threats.
