ScreenshotWindows Lowlevel Solution is another rogue diagnostic application that fakes poor security ratings and other misleading data to get the user to register the faulty product. Distribution of Windows Lowlevel Solution is handled primarily by the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware, so care should be taken to watch out for this related infection whenever you have Windows Lowlevel Solution. Types of malware like Windows Lowlevel Solution are also known for hijacking web browsers, creating fake desktop error messages and blocking helpful applications. Under such circumstances, avoiding removing Windows Lowlevel Solution places your PC at a high level of vulnerability for other attacks.

Major Infection Symptoms and Routes for Windows Lowlevel Solution's Gutter-Level Malware

Catching Windows Lowlevel Solution initially is often simple if you're ready for the signs. Windows Lowlevel Solution is spread by the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware, which is known for imitating Windows error messages. The first message this Trojan begins with will look similar to this one:

Microsoft Security Essentials Alert
Microsoft Security Essentials detected potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer. Your access to these items may be suspender until you take an action.

This startling and bold red error message window can be frightening if you've never seen it before – it's not a herald of Windows, but of a Trojan trying to persuade you to install malware! Supposed attack by an 'Unknown Win32/Trojan' will lead into identification of a Trojan.Horse.Win32.PAV.64.a threat, but the true threat is Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware.

Installing Windows Lowlevel Solution or another rogue security program by accident leads to the following symptoms:

  • Windows Lowlevel Solution launches with every reboot unless exceptional safety measures are used. This is due to Windows Registry changes that place Windows Lowlevel Solution right in your startup routine.
  • Other programs will be blocked off by Windows Lowlevel Solution, especially default Windows applications and anti-virus scanners. Windows Lowlevel Solution may emit fake error messages to hide these attacks.
  • Your web browser can be hijacked by Windows Lowlevel Solution, resulting in altered website content, blocked sites, fake errors and advertisements. Of particular note is the propensity for Windows Lowlevel Solution to redirect you to Windows Emergency System's homepage, which can force you to download other malware even if nothing visible is happening.
  • The most obvious sign of Windows Lowlevel Solution infection, however, is Windows Emergency System's frequent fake errors, scans, and system ratings. Windows Lowlevel Solution will do everything in its power to convince you that your PC is out of date, full of malware and generally in bad shape.

The Genuine Solution to Windows Lowlevel Solution

Believing Windows Lowlevel Solution's little scam and giving away your credit card number to register the program is disastrous, not just for your credit card, but for your PC, too. Speak with your credit card company about disputing charges if you've made this little misstep. Registered or unregistered, though, it's never too late to remove Windows Lowlevel Solution for good.

As a plain and blatant copy of other rogue security programs like Windows Emergency System, Windows Support System and Windows Efficiency Magnifier, Windows Lowlevel Solution struggles against many verified anti-malware solutions already present in the industry. Preventing Windows Lowlevel Solution from running by switching to Safe Mode and thereafter running a full scan with a completely updated anti-malware product will typically take Windows Lowlevel Solution down for the count.
