Win 7 Security 2012
Win 7 Security 2012 appears to be very similar to a reliable antivirus program, but it is a rogue antispyware application that is designed to steal your money and leave your system in ruins. This rogue is special, because there are many versions of it, and the one you get depends on your operating system. For example, if it infects a computer that runs on Windows Vista or XP, instead of Win 7 Security 2012, another name would be generated (Vista or XP Security 2012).
