Threat Description:

Smart Security (also known as SmartSecurity) is a fake anti-spyware program that continues the malicious job started by Security Tool – its direct precursor. Apparently, Smart Security as been released to bring its creators some commercial gain by tricking people. It installs in a hidden manner using trojans for exploiting vulnerable spots of the potential host Operating System. Smart Security’s intrusion will typically bypass the user’s attention because it all takes place on the background. When inside, Smart Security makes certain system changes such as Windows Registry modification and creation of new corrupt files on the system. This kind of fraud job performed by Smart Security leads to its taking over your system. Smart Security will make your PC run its junk executables which turn out to outrank the rest of your system processes. The ‘fun part’ will begin with the multiple popup ads and security scanners displayed by Smart Security stating that you are having some serious malware issues and need to get them corrected. Each time Smart Security returns its scan results, you see bunches of worms, trojans, spyware and other infections which are allegedly residing inside your workstation. Now, just bear in mind that those ads are misleading and do not reflect the genuine condition of your system. If you happen to get hit by Smart Security malware, it’s high time you did something about it. We strongly recommend that you get rid of this rogue without the slightest delay; otherwise it may turn your computer world into annoying and definitely unpleasant experience.
