Windows Secure Web Patch

Windows Secure Web Patch Description

Even though Windows Secure Web Patch has cribbed most of its looks from old versions of Windows Security Center, Windows Secure Web Patch is neither a security tool nor a Microsoft-endorsed product. As rogue anti-malware software, Windows Secure Web Patch has only one intention in mind: to mislead you with bad security information until you spend money on its ‘full’ software. Since Windows Secure Web Patch belongs to a family that’s also known for its browser redirects, attacks against browser security and attempts to prevent victims from using actual security-oriented software, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers always urge you to remove Windows Secure Web Patch quickly and with an appropriate anti-malware application.

Windows Secure Web Patch: the Patch That Downgrades Your PC’s Safety

At first glance, Windows Secure Web Patch might look like an anti-malware scanner with a surprising breadth of safety features, but SpywareRemove.com malware research team has confirmed that Windows Secure Web Patch is nothing more than another assembly-line clone from FakeVimes.

As long as it’s open, Windows Secure Web Patch will always display warning messages about nonexistent infections and attacks as part of its scam.

Windows Secure Web Patch may also have hidden but more significant effects on your PC than a few simple pop-ups. Some of the worst of Windows Secure Web Patch’s capabilities that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have divined include:

• Browser redirects that alter your online searches or expose you to harmful sites.
• Windows security settings that are changed without your consent, especially in the case of browser settings that protect you against suspicious downloads.
• Monitored memory processes and altered Registry settings, both of which work hand-in-hand to block unrelated and legitimate security programs.

The latter attack especially causes SpywareRemove.com malware researchers to suggest disabling Windows Secure Web Patch’s startup method before you attempt to scan your PC for Windows Secure Web Patch’s removal. Fortunately, standard techniques like booting from removable media will work well for preventing Windows Secure Web Patch from starting itself.

Keeping Windows Secure Web Patch Out of Your Hard Drive in the First Place

Windows Secure Web Patch, like its kin, is promoted through fake online scanners and Trojans that are labeled via misleading links (such as fake media codecs and movie player updates). Keeping your downloads limited to reputable sources, avoiding updates from unusual third-parties and being careful around suspicious security programs will all help to keep Windows Secure Web Patch from getting anywhere near your PC. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers additionally recommend that you keep scripts disabled for untrustworthy sites, especially those that are promoted in Windows Secure Web Patch’s browser-redirecting attacks, as a means of blocking drive-by-downloads.

Windows Secure Web Patch should never be removed by normal software-deletion methods or treated as an actual security program, since Windows Secure Web Patch is criminal software that lacks any real features for your PC’s benefit. Although Windows Secure Web Patch’s presentation is that of security software, it should be stressed that Windows Secure Web Patch is no better or worse than any Trojan, virus or rootkit.
