Internet Security Plus

Internet Security Plus impersonates a rogue anti-virus tool. This software is categorized as fake AV because it shows bogus reports for the purpose of tricking users into buying the full license of it. This malware is distributed by means of two techniques. The first approach is via application of hacked web-pages that exploit user’s vulnerable application in order to bring the hoax without his/her consent. The second technique applies web-pages that show bogus online anti-virus scanners that imitate the scan of your system, claim that it is full of viruses, and then push you to download and install Internet Security Plus for the purpose of deleting all such fake threats.

As soon as this fake anti-spyware is installed on your PC it will be tuned up in order to be launched automatically when your operating system starts. Upon successful initialization it will run a fake scan of your computer and then claim that there are various treats detected by it on your PC. If you try to use the software to get rid of these viruses, however, it will tell that you first must buy its license before it can eliminate them. This is a scareware as the scan reports are all fabricated. Moreover, such infections don’t really dwell on your machine. Hence, please disregard the scan reports and do not buy this application.

The malware also hijacks many of the contaminated PC’s functions. Just as an example, when you try to launch an exe file it might stop it immediately. In addition, Internet Security Plus hijacks the Windows Task Manager and Registry editor so that when you run them, it will instead report these legitimate Windows applications as infections. This give the rogue full control of your workstation until you effect the payment for it. Doing this is a serious mistake made by some people already. We hope you will not be in their list.

Finally, this rogue also shows bogus security notifications that are designed to make you believe that your system has a severe PC security issue. These alerts may claim that your system is downloading copyrighted information, is full of viruses, or is sending out unsolicited bulk spam.

Similar to the scan results, all of these security notifications are bogus and must be disregarded. To summarize the above-mentioned, Internet Security Plus is a scareware program that was prepared to fool you into believing your PC was considerably contaminated so that you will then buy it.
