Total Security 2009 also known as just Total Security is a well known Smitfraud client.  This means it is a fake security client.  If you find yourself infected with this virus then you will need to run a full scan using your favorite antivirus client to remove it.

As you will learn from the below video, this virus block the start-up of many different programs on your computer and even stop you from installing any security software like Spyware Doctor with Antivirus.  Users also report not being able to open the task manger or do a system restore.

The main goal of fake clients like these is to trick or scare the user into purchasing the bogus client.  DO NOT PURCHASE THIS FAKE CLIENT.  You will only be feeding the beast.  It seems that this client is from the same people who made System Security. We say this because it has many of the same traces files and some of them are even named after the System Security client.

This client is now also adding in a desktop highjack.  That say's something like "Warning! Your're in Danger! Your computer is infected with spyware".  This is another attempt to scare the user into purchasing the product.  Don't do it.  It's a scam just like all the fake warnings and messages.

In our testing we found that a user had to manually install this fake client.  However this is not always the case and if the client auto installed on you then you have a few other viruses on your computer besides this one.  Be sure to watch our video on how to remove this client.  It will help.

* Bogus Scan results

The latest path we found for this is C:\docments and Settings\All Users\ Application Data\15918904 .  Browser to that folder location and open it. Remember the Application Data is a hidden folder so you need to change your view to show hidden files and folders.  There you will find your running trace file.  Re-name the file to anything else.  Now re-boot your computer.  You should now be able to access programs and download files.  Go ahead and delete the whole C:\docments and Settings\All Users\ Application Data\{random8numberfolder}
