Win 7 Security
Win 7 Security is a rogue anti-malware program from the Rogue:Win32/FakeRean family. Like other members of its voluminous family, Win 7 Security uses a combination of fake errors and other attacks on your PC to convince you that its supposed threat detection and removal features are needed; however, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are firm in their confirmation that Win 7 Security can't detect or remove spyware, Trojans, or any other type of PC threat. Even though Win 7 Security may include a removal utility, it's recommended that you only delete Win 7 Security with a qualified anti-malware product, since bundled deletion tools for FakeRean programs have been confirmed to avoid full removal of their scamware. Above and beyond all else, however, you should never spend money on Win 7 Security, since this will open up your credit card to other fraudulent transactions and may expose you to other attacks via Win 7 Security's website.
How to Catch Win 7 Security Out On Its Fraudulent Security
Most scamware products like Win 7 Security are distributed by fake system scanners that are hosted via third-party advertisements or directly-malicious websites. These scanners usually attempt to deceive you into installing Win 7 Security or will install Win 7 Security without your consent – this deception can look relatively-believable since Win 7 Security and other FakeRean programs will often include visible installers. However, once Win 7 Security is installed, rather than portraying accurate system information, Win 7 Security will create fake warnings about PC threats that aren't on your hard drive. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have dug up a multitude of samples for Win 7 Security's warnings, including:
Spyware alarm!
SpywareRemove.com 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 Win 7 Security scan.
WARNING! Win 7 Security has found [Random number] useless and UNWANTED files on your computer!
System warning!
Continue working in unprotected mode is very dangerous. Viruses can damage your confidential data and work on your computer. Click here to protect your computer.
Critical Warning!
Critical System Warning! Your system is probably infected with a version of Trojan-Spy.HTML.Visafraud.a. This may result in website access passwords being stolen from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook etc. Click Yes to scan and remove threats. (recommended)
Under normal circumstances, Win 7 Security will only appear on a PC that runs Windows 7, since FakeRean scamware will alter their names to match the corresponding OS. For example, a Windows XP PC may be infected by Vista Security 2012 or Vista Guardian, while a Windows XP machine may be infected by XP Defender 2010 or XP Police Antivirus. In all cases, rogue anti-malware programs from the FakeRean family, including Win 7 Security, should always be considered malicious and should be removed by genuine anti-malware products.
Using Real Security to Put Win 7 Security to Bed
Win 7 Security will make additions to the Windows Registry that automatically-launch Win 7 Security whenever Windows starts. Even though Win 7 Security will use this privileged position to display system scans with alarming results, SpywareRemove.com malware research team has found that Win 7 Security's scans are just as poor at threat-detection as its pop-ups. In between scans and error messages, Win 7 Security will also try to encourage you to buy Win 7 Security, and Win 7 Security may even install a fake Windows Security Center applet that only serves to be a link to the Win 7 Security website. Some variants of Win 7 Security will also re-launch themselves whenever an .exe file is run, once again, due to Windows Registry changes.
Since Win 7 Security doesn't display its actual program in the Control Panel and uses a fake removal utility, you should be prepared to use suitable anti-malware software to get rid of a Win 7 Security infection. As long as all Windows Registry changes and other alterations to your PC are removed along with Win 7 Security, your computer shouldn't suffer any permanent harm from Win 7 Security's attacks. However, contact with Win 7 Security's website or failure to fully-remove Win 7 Security and related PC threats may result in a renewed infection.

This site helped me more than anything, the information about win 7 being spyware every few seconds it came up saying i had a bug and what hit me the most was when it said i was being watched, the first time we had problems they had changed themselves to the administator even though it said i was the admin there was an account unseen by veiw till we fiddled about, we then a about an hour later got another virus same one i think ( was a person behind the comuter trying to hack me) we then sat trying to figure it out for hours and eventually we had to disable ALL the add ons, at the moment we are at the next stage of being infected by this win 7, they will not fool us and we will not pay either.
TAKE IT OFF
I placed an order with win 7 and never heard from them again. They took money from my account and I am lockeout of my system
Thanks for this information. My laptop was bombarded with the Win7 Security warning last nite. Since I couldn't access the internet, I ordered the program. I didn't get a comfirmation email and haven't heard a thing from them. I checked my CC just now and found the money had been charged to my account.
So, I will not be paying for this since I have heard from all you. Oh, I finally figured out how to get into the internet and all works fine now. I already had the Webroot AntiVirus program so I couldn't understand why the Win7 thing was popping up and making the internet unavailable. Thanks to all of you!
i HAVE BEEN HAD!!!
I got the messages couldn't get into my laptop at all or my internet so i download it and have had the money taken off my card!!!! I guess that will teach ME!!
I wonder if i can get my money back as i cant even remeber the site i was on for it 🙂
Just got hit my self. This little bug doesn't let me do anything, not even in safemode. How can I install and run SPYHUNTER if I can run any .exe files ??
I got hit with that virus last night when opening what I thought was a misplaced letter in spam at yahoo mail. It was a united states postal service mailer with attachments. It seemed legit becouse I am currently trying to get a po. box and it wanted corrections to my info. But when I opened it up all hell broke loose. It immediately locked me out of my yahoo account and wouldnt let me reenter the internet. All of my browsers were affected- google -internet explorer- . It said that my computer was under attack and the end of my computer use was implied immenant. well I gave them my credit card number and they didnt fix anything or give me the means to fix anything. Today I spent about 8 hours on this thing trying to fix it as well as contacting registry mechanic and purchasing a pc dotor and anti virus program for 60. bucks. Now Im light by 120.00 over this damn virus. I am still trying to get this laptop right. I called my credit card company--- walmart money card --- and they said that they can not cancel the payment unless the thieves who stole my money calll them and tell them that they wanted that transaction cancelled. Coporation red tape and some ignorant phone jockey running block on doing right, Its hard to argue with them. Homeless and broke for years, this computer is my employment connection, I hope they rot in hell for the money they stole.
also the thing called itself win 7 internet security 2011
I can not express how much I hope this guys steering wheel catches fire while he's driving. I read that microsoft is offering 250k to whoever can help locate him. I'm Russian and I can clearly see russian writing on my task manager description clearly showing a program that I have no memory of. I have tried multiple different spyware removal programs but no luck. If you're program works, I will be more then happy to purchase it. Thank you in advance if it does.
I got it last night on one of my computers and nothing listed here helped. It removed my restore points, it blocked any internet browser from accessing the internet. It kept me out of the Task Manager even in Safe mode it popped up. When I finally got rid of it, how I don't know since it eventually stopped popping up, it had already done its damage and still couldn't access the web and many programs. So I used my recovery disks and installed windows and apps. I'm so glad that I use a second partition to keep my files in. They were untouched and I still have them on the new reload. Is there away to prevent this from happening again, the entire virus protectors seem to be a day late on this stuff. As mentioned above since the “.exe” file has different names it’s hard to block the main exe file in the future.
I run Kapersky again and again but the damn thing keeps coming back. I enter a registration code to shut it up, but it keeps reinstalling itsef. Sorry, but nothing here helped me.
My friend's computer got infected with this thing, because her daughter was downloading porn. Be careful of the websites you use! I took the laptop offline, loaded a CD with MalWare Bytes on another PC, then inserted it in the infected laptop and ran it. This identified and removed five trojan viruses. Not done, though! I had to go into the registry and remove just about any string that contained the characters "ein" or "ein.exe." This was in addition to searching for suggested registry changes above. AFTER once again running another MalWare Bytes scan that snagged two more trojans. So if you don't get your registry cleaned out, it'll ruin your PC. We'll see how thing go - whether or not I ruined the computer by deleting so many registry keys!
SpyHunter 4 identifies and removes Win7 Security 2012!
I was on faceboook and it exited out then destroyed all my stuff D: After I supposedly got it fixed it came again while I was watching anime (Japanese cartoons) and blocked the new spyware I had gotten that had temporarily stopped it -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
PS; just don't want the program
I DO NOT WANT THIS AND PLEASE REMOVE CHARGE FROM MY MASTER CARD. THANK YOU
