Active Security Description:

Active Security is one of the most rapidly spreading rogue anti-spyware applications as of now. Do not get amazed if someday you notice Active Security program on your computer although you never installed it – the utility needs no permission to infiltrate your system and play havoc with it. It’s trojans that assist Active Security in its distribution so the intrusion is always stealthy. Once on board, Active Security issues a lot of bogus system tray notifications and fake Security Center Alerts that claim to have detected parasites like Backdoor.Win32.Agent.ich, Rootkit.Win32.Agent.pp or other threats which can allegedly destroy your system. In addition to these misleading pop-ups, the infected system will also be forced to display fabricated security scanners like the one shown below. All the above aims to scare the user and make him/her buy Active Security registered version which is stated to be fit to eliminate all those infections. Please bear in mind that Active Security does not and can’t possibly locate any malware on your computer because it has an empty antivirus database. Do not believe the false claims Active Security makes about your system being contaminated. The only parasite you should remove is Active Security itself otherwise it may put your system integrity and your privacy at risk. Please, review Active Security uninstall guide below to prevent the malware from invading your private cyber life.
