What is Win Security 360?

Win Security 360 is a rogue anti-spyware that is said to belong to the WiniGuard family of fake software programs. It uses the well-known tactic of trying to scare the user into buying its ‘full’ version. Win Security 360 enters a user’s computer by using Trojan viruses that get downloaded from websites claiming to have free virus scans. Once it has been installed, Win Security 360 proceeds to perform endless fake scans of the system, generating fake pop-ups which claim that the computer is seriously infected. Browsing the web becomes impossible due to the endless stream of warnings that Win Security 360 generates. It also asks the user to pay for the ‘full’ version of Win Security 360 by trying to convince the user that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is not good enough for the job of removing all the fake ‘threats’ that are present on the user’s system. It is important to note that this ‘full’ version of Win Security 360 is just as incapable of removing the ‘threats’ as the ‘trial’ version, and no user should allow themselves to be tricked into buying a license to this fake software.

The process of Win Security 360 removal is outlined below. It involves stopping processes, deleting files and folders and removing registry entries. It is also recommended to use genuine antivirus software such as Spyware Doctor with Antivirus » download.
