Remove Windows Security System 2010

Windows Security System 2010 is a rogue security software application which is related to Vista Antispyware 2010, and which, like its relative, tries to trick users into purchasing its license by using scare tactics. Windows Security System 2010 reaches the user’s system via Trojans that get downloaded from fake malicious websites which claim to have security scanners. Once installed, Windows Security System 2010 disables any security applications that the user may have already installed on the system, and proceeds to load at startup. It then performs fake security scans on the system, returning false results that claim that the computer is severely infected with malicious software. It also displays a large number of fake pop-ups from the Windows taskbar, which warn the user of potential ‘threats’ to the computer. Meanwhile, Windows Security System 2010 constantly requests the user to purchase the ‘full’ version of the software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version of Windows Security System 2010 is insufficient to completely clean the system. It is important to remember that Windows Security System 2010 is merely a fake application which cannot scan your system in any form, be it the ‘trial’ version or the ‘full’ version.
