What is Personal Security?

Personal Security is closely related to such well-known rogue software programs as Personal Antivirus, Cyber Security and Alpha Antivirus. It uses scare tactics to persuade users to purchase its ‘full version’. Personal Security reaches as user’s computer via various Trojans which encourage its installation. Normally this rogue software appears as a harmless audio/video codec. Once installed, Personal Security will start showing numerous fake pop-ups warning the user of various threats to the system’s security. It also blocks system services such as System Restore, Safe Mode, Registry Editor and Task Manager to prevent the user from trying to remove it. Furthermore, it will tag harmless legitimate files as viruses and ask the user to purchase a license to Personal Security, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is insufficient to handle these ‘threats’. It must be noted that this ‘full’ version of Personal Security is completely incapable of doing any good for your computer and the best course of action as soon as you find this rogue piece of software on your computer is to take immediate steps to remove it.

Personal Security removal involves killing its running processes, unregistering its DLLs, removing files and folders and cleaning out the registry. It is recommended to conduct a full system scan using a legitimate antivirus software such as Spyware Doctor with Antivirus » download in order to clean your system.
