Internet Security 2011 Removal Guide

Internet Security 2011 is a direct clone of the well-known and despised rogue security application Antivirus 2010. This rogue security tool was designed not to protect users’ PCs against any type of attack or threat, but simply to rip them off. Its criminal developers cleverly markets Internet Security 2011 as a powerful and user friendly application, but the truth is that Internet Security 2011 cannot detect, quarantine or remove any type of threat from the PC, seeing that it is nothing more than a threat in itself.

If you wonder how this malicious rogue manages to gain entry to your PC, it makes use of various nefarious techniques. These include using bogus online malware scanners, bundling its Trojans and malware together with other third party downloads and using seditious browser hijacking websites.

Once Internet Security 2011 manages to root itself in the system it will not let up until the user either decides to pay for it, or remove Internet Security 2011 from the system completely. It will start its attack against the system by initiating a fake system security scan. Of course this fake scan will generate false results which have no bearing on reality. Shortly after this, the user will be presented with various falsely generated security alerts in the form of annoying and incessant pop up messages. These fake pop up messages were designed to further annoy and panic the user into thinking his system is under attack. Some of the most popular notifications to be on the lookout for include the following:
