Secure-your-pc.info

Posted: March 1, 2010

Secure-your-pc.info or Scanner.secure-your-pc.info is a rogue security website that promotes the fake software called Antivirus. Secure-your-pc.info is put into users' browsers by sneaky Trojans. When a user visits Secure-your-pc.info many security alerts and pop-up messages will be generated. If the user clicks on one of these bogus security notifications he/she will be redirected to Scanner.secure-your-pc.info. This is where a fake online system scan will be conducted. The scan will claim that the computer is infected with malware that can only be removed with the "full version" of Antivirus. Antivirus is not a legitimate application. Use reliable security software to stop the redirects to Secure-your-pc.info by removing the Trojans associated with it.

    How do I break out of the program once it is running. I can't seem to stop it to see anything else. I don't see start menu or anything.
