When it comes to rogue antispyware the most definite thing about it is that there is no end to it. New infections like Security Scanner pop up every single day, and you have to be exceptionally careful about this one. The reason why Security Scanner is dangerous is because it is a direct descendent of MS Removal Tool, which is a rather formidable rogue antispyware application. Security Scanner is less dangerous, which means that you have to tackle this infection down the moment you notice it act up in your system.
Upon the infection Security Scanner performs a fake system scan, providing you a list of parasites that are supposedly infecting your computer, for example – Virus.DOS.Lct.599, Virus.DOS.Zerobug.1536.a, Trojan.Win32.Killav.k and so on. However, these fake scan results are not the most annoying thing about Security Scanner. There is something far more frustrating – Security Scanner can block your executables. It does not allow you to run various programs, saying:
Security Scanner
"notepad.exe" is infected with "Backdoor:Win32/Hackdef.O".

The activation will make the fake security alerts and the messages disappear, and for a time being it will look as if your computer has gone back to normal, but you mustn’t wait, because this is your chance – acquire a reliable security tool and erase Security Scanner altogether from your system, while you can. Do not wait until the infection comes back swinging full force.
