The Web Sentinel Removal Guide

The Web Sentinel is a fake anti-virus program, part of the famous Your Web Safe group of rogues, which also includes The Registry Sentinel. Using a variety of hacking tricks, The Web Sentinel tries to take advantage of unsuspecting users.

In order to enter the targeted computers, this rogue uses the help of malware pieces such as Locker.exe or TROJ_RANSOM.B. These viruses are hidden in hacked websites and sneak into vulnerable PCs at the first convenient moment.

The Web Sentinel claims to be a security application, which protects computers from compromised websites and downloads. The truth, however, is that it does nothing else, but scare the users by presenting fake security results, warning about safety threats.

When the malicious software enters a machine, it places its purchase webpage, opened with Internet Explorer, that cannot be removed. This is the malware's most malicious scary strategy. What causes this aggressive advertising method, is the Locker.exe file, which blocks the keyboard combinations used to stop programs - Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The only thing that you can do, in case this infection has crept into your PC, is to use Ctrl+N combination to open a new tab in Internet Explorer, then find a legitimate AV tool and run a scan with it to detect and remove the malicious files.

Since the number of security threats spread on the Internet is constantly enlarging, it is always a good idea to stay informed about the latest hacker creations. Thus, you will be able to react accordingly, provided that a malicious software attacks your computer. Whatever you do, do not let programs like The Web Sentinel blackmail you. Not only that you will give your money away to hackers if you purchase this product, but the details you are required to fill in during the purchase may be further used by cyber criminals.
