Win 7 Home Security 2013

What is Win 7 Home Security 2013?

Win 7 Home Security 2013 is a clone of several false security clients like Vista Home Security 2013 and XP Home Security 2013. This false security client shows false scan results. The purpose of this client is to trick users into thinking it’s a real antivirus program. Once installed on the system it will block most programs from running and often times block the install of antivirus software.

To help in the removal of this virus users should download SpyHunter. You may have to boot into safe mode with networking to install this client. Learn how at http://www.removevirus.org/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode

Users become infected with Win 7 Home Security 2013 several different ways. Many times they are tricked into installing the program thinking it’s a video update.

End users who do not have an active antivirus client that provides up front protection are the most at risk.

Manual Removal Process (Not Recommended Unless You Know Your Way Around a Computer)

Step 1. You need to focus on stopping the Win 7 Home Security 2013 program from running. To do this we have to kill off 1 file from running.

The virus name is like the below

• [random].exe ( Example is 56d.exe) This will change over time so you are looking for a file that is named something that makes no sense at all. In our test sample this file name was 3 characters long. It will change over time but look for something similar.

File Locations

Take note that the below file locations contain hidden files and folders. For instance the AppData folder is a hidden folder. In order to view these folders you will need to show hidden files and folders. Learn how to at http://www.removevirus.org/show-hidden-files-and-folders

Windows Vista/7:

In one of the folder paths below you should find the file

• C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local
• C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\

Here are several ways to stop this threat

A. Browse to the file location shown below under File Locations and re-name the file first and then restart your computer. Then browse to that file location again and delete the file. You can not delete a file while it is in use. HINT! You can sort the files by date. This will eliminate all most all files and from there you can view the 1-3 files that match your infection date. From there it’s normally easy to determine which file is the virus.

B.  Boot into Safe Mode and delete the file. Again look at the file path below. You can also boot into “safe mode with networking” and download Spyware Doctor with Antivirus. You will be able to install it and run the virus scan. Learn how to boot into safe mode here

C: Log-into another users account and see if you can delete the file. Again use the File Locations below to locate the file

E:  Start the Task Manager the very second you login and terminate the process that way. Then locate and delete the file

F: Use the command line to kill the task and then delete the file using the File Locations below. This is a little more advanced but we have a guide on this on http://www.removevirus.org/kill-running-process-using-command-line

Once you have deleted the above executable, Win 7 Home Security 2013 will no longer be running. At this time you need to run a full virus scan. RUN THE  SCAN!. We recommend SpyHunter. You need to ensure no other viruses are on your computer.  So many people skip this very simple step.  Take an extra few minutes and ensure you have all the viruses removed.
