Windows Smart Security Description:

Windows Smart Security (aka Smart Security 2009) does not deserve to be called an antivirus program because it’s a fake one. Windows Smart Security is being promoted on Smartsecsupport.com and is just a rogue anti-spyware successor of Security Tool and Total Security 2009 which have been an issue of major alarm in the cyber world for the past few months. Since Windows Smart Security is too useless to be able to persuade an average user into installing it, the program acts in a radically differently way. It doesn’t ask for user authorization and gets into a system without notifying the potential victim. Having crept into the new host area, Windows Smart Security injects its code into some of the critical process running so do not get surprised to see that you suddenly cannot use your Task Manager, System Restore, antivirus software; not to mention severe internet surfing difficulties you may run into. All the above unwanted symptoms can be caused by Windows Smart Security which in addition makes the PC operate slower than usual. Moreover, the system chaos will be enhanced by Windows Smart Security fake alerts, nag screens and, of course, its fabricated system scanners that launch after you start your machine and detect loads of infections. It’s important to think sober and refrain from installing and purchasing Windows Smart Security, no matter how persuasively it may try to brainwash you into that. A much better choice is to remove Windows Smart Security rogue anti-spyware ASAP.
