Personal Security Description:

Personal Security (aka PersonalSecurity) is a nasty computer virus that aggressively compromises PCs and the user’s privacy. Personal Security appears to represent the same family of scarewares as Cyber Security so it’s reasonable to expect quite rapid propagation trends of this malicious software in the near future. Personal Security infects a random computer without showing any signs of authentication observing and bypasses the user’s approval to get on board. When inside, Personal Security tries to disable the antivirus tools installed on the machine being challenged, which makes this rogueware yet more hazardous. Personal Security modifies the Windows registry on the host PC so it paralyses normal system functioning. As an outcome, Personal Security overwhelms the unsuspecting victims with numerous spyware detection reports and virus infiltration alerts thus trying to intimidate the user. To be more specific, Personal Security generates many fake popup warnings and system scanners that tell you about the purported interception of malware. This is supposed to get you alarmed and go further trying to figure things out. It’s at that stage that Personal Security offers you to purchase its licensed copy which is promised to protect you against those infections detected previously. Please do not believe Personal Security and its adware. This program is a scam and it wants your money – if Personal Security fails to achieve its commercial goals, it won’t stop and may destroy your system. It’s strongly advised to remove Personal Security rogue anti-spyware ASAP if it gets on your PC without your permission.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to find the correct hexadecimal registry key names? I don’t have the above keys, but under HKLM\Software, I do have a key that contains seamingly randomly named values with seamingly random data contained in each.

    Thanks, Jamie.
