Rogue Anti-Spyware Add comments

APcSecure Description:

APcSecure (aka APc Secure) is a counterfeit malware removal program. APcSecure is a clone of DefendAPc rogue anti-spyware and has very similar characteristics to this predecessor. APcSecure finds backdoors in the to-be attacked PC and has trojans drill their way inside. Once that is done, APcSecure can safely attend to what we call the misleading part of its plan. First of all, APcSecure alters the System Registry information through creating a couple of new Registry keys. These unwanted modifications enable APcSecure to issue commands to your system which it will have to execute. For example, APcSecure.exe process will be configured to run as you use your computer and will keep getting launched until you actually remove APcSecure scamware. When active, APcSecure issues dozens of deceitful alerts, warnings, system tray notifications and of course the infamous bogus virus scanners which will be sure to pop up once you boot your PC. APcSecure reports the detection of numerous parasites on your PC and then asks for a payment from you to register your own copy of APcSecure software. Well, being inclined to believe a program like APcSecure is a mistake because it does not defend your PC at all. APcSecure is after your credit card information, nothing more. It pretends to intercept malware in order to have you waste your money on its commercial version. Do not be that naive, uninstall APcSecure virus using the tips below.
