AV Secure 2012 Removal Guide

The developers behind Cloud AV 2012 and AV Security 2012 have been hard at work with their latest clone release, AV Secure 2012. This rogue antispyware application was designed to rip PC owners off. Although it will do everything in its power to make its victims believe that it is in fact a genuine security tool, AV Secure 2012 has no ability to detect or remove any type of threat from the system.

This rogue makes use of the same interface as its forbearers, and it seems its developers only changed the name of the application but nothing else. AV Secure 2012 will pretend to be able to scan the PC for privacy issues, the system’s firewall and will pretend to update the user on the system’s overall status. Essentially this scan is only an empty shell unable to do anything except annoy the user. It will start a fake security scan of the system as soon as the user logs on to Windows.

This fake scan will inform the user that his PC is being overrun by various fake security threats and the only way to get rid of these fake threats will be to pay for an AV Secure 2012 license. It will start spamming the user with the following falsely generated security alerts too:

Warning! Infection found
Unwanted software (malware) or tracking cookies have been found during last scan. It is highly recommended to remove it from your computer.
Keylogger Zeus was detected and put in quarantine.
Keylogger Zeus is a very dangerous software used by criminals to steal personal data such as credit card information, access to banking accounts, passwords to social networks and e-mails
