What is Windows Security System?

Windows Security System is a false antivirus client that shows fake scan information and error messages. This program is meant to trick and scare users into making a purchase of the program. Fake programs like this are called malware. Windows Security System is from the same family as Desktop Security 2010, Total PC Defender 2010, Security Monitor 2012 and half a dozen other related clients. The removal process is basically the exact same for each client. Only the name of the client keeps changing.

If you purchased this client by mistake then you should get your money back. We wrote a guide to help inform users on how they can get their money back. It’s located here. For those who want to learn about how they can avoid such viruses in the future you should read our how to avoid virus infections guide.

How Did I get infected with Windows Security System?

In many cases the end user gets tricked into installing the program thinking it’s a security update or video program. The promoters of this virus get very creative and will attempt to fool users into installing the program. You may also get infected automatically if your operating system or other supporting software on your system is out of date. It’s important to have a live up front antivirus client to stop these kind of threats. This is why RemoveVirus.org does recommend all computer users to pay for an antivirus client as that is the only real way to get ample protection.

What is Windows Security System Doing to My Computer Right Now?

This client will block programs from running on your computer. This can make it hard to install and run antivirus software to remove Windows Security System. It is not deleting files on your computer. It will show false scan information about your system being infected with tons of viruses but it’s all false information. You will also get warning messages about your computer being hacked and people stealing your information. This is false and only there to scare you into making a purchase. Your banking and social profiles are not being hacked by Windows Security System. We do recommend you run a full antivirus scan using a paid antivirus client to ensure you have no other virus threats on your computer that could be exploiting your online passwords and user names.

Here are some example error messages you may be seeing. Keep in mind that all messages given off are not true.

Security Center
Unauthorized remote connection!
Your system is making an unauthorized personal data transfer to a remote computer!
Warning! Unauthorized personal data transfer is detected! It may be your personal credit card details, logins and passwords, browsing habits or information about files you have downloaded.
To protect your private data, please click “Prevent Connection” button below.

With error messages like the above it’s no wonder some people fall for this scam. The error message is there to scare you and nothing more. It’s not a real security threat.
