AV Security Essentials Removal Guide

The reason why we have computer threats like AV Security Essentials popping up every single day is that they are actually successful in achieving their goals. AV Security Essentials is not the first rogue in the line, having such threats as Antivirus Smart Protection, Malware Protection Center and Smart Anti-Malware Protection in its notorious family tree. Just like its forerunners AV Security Essentials arrives at your doorstep with intention to steal your money and if you think that a program cannot do that, you are most definitely wrong.

If you are infected with AV Security Essentials, you must have seen the program perform a fake system scan and then bombard you with numerous fake security notifications in hopes of scare you into believing that your computer is infected with multiple viruses. Users who do believe in this fraud end up “paying” for the full version of AV Security Essentials, but as they do that, they reveal their credit card information (card holder name, number, expiration date etc.) to a third party, and as a result their bank account becomes exposed to illegal access. In such case, the user has to contact his or her bank and make sure that the card is suspended and the bank account is protected.

And as far as AV Security Essentials is concerned, the first thing you have to do about it is getting rid of these annoying security messages:
