Internet Security virus (removal tools)

Internet Security virus icon

Internet Security virus is a fake antispyware program targeting and entering Windows OS computers without user’s permission. Once installed it runs fake system scans and reports a lot of misleading warnings, alerts and notifications about bogus and unreal threats. It reports all legitimate programs as infected with W32/Blaster.Worm. This is done to scare the user into buying its helpless license (Internet Security registration key) which can’t protect computers. Use this guide to remove Internet Security malware from your system.

In spite of outwardly attractive design, Internet Security program you see at the screenshot is not a real security software as clear from the paragraph above. Its slogan that says ‘Internet Security – Designed to protect‘ actually means nothing. In other words, this is just the attempt of its developers to make users think this program is deemed to protect your computer. In reality, the program doesn’t have the real system protection features to defend your PC in times of brutal malware attacks. Instead, this is a rogue AV tool designed by the group of online frauds that aim to attack your PC and prompt you to pay money for nothing good. This program cannot render any reliable or decent security services for your machine, even though it has such a well-sounding name. If you’re more likely to trust this hoax you’re seriously wrong. Instead of buying this hoax you’d rather hurry up and remove it immediately to prevent more serious damage for your computer.

Internet Security malware reports many fake security warnings and notifications to scare users into buying its registration key. Some of them are presented below:

As we’ve mentioned above, Internet Security virus will not allow you to run any antivirus program or even Internet browsers to download them. It will block all such attempts when you try running some other system tools like Task Manager, cmd.exe or taskkill.exe commands. To bypass this blockage you may enter this registration key of Internet Security virus – Y68REW-T76FD1-U3VCF5A. You may specify this registration key in the respective section of the following window that comes up. Also, you may indicate any email address:
