Vista Security 2012 Removal Guide

There is a huge nest of rogues and they are actually all alike, and the main difference between then is their names. To put it simply, it is one and the same rogue antispyware application, but it has many versions. Vista Security 2012 is a part of this group of rogues, and it could be inferred from its name that this fake antivirus program targets users that have computers running on Windows Vista operating system. Vista Security 2012 is a new version of Vista Security 2011, so you can expect this program to have a lot of nasty tricks behind its sleeve.

You might be susceptible to the infection while you browse the internet, because Vista Security 2012 is quick to exploit various system vulnerabilities. So you might get infected with the rogue via a drive-by download or by a Trojan that has been lurking in your system for some time now. That is because rogues like Vista Security 2012 seldom come alone. And once it does enter your computer and install itself without your permission, it unleashes a wrath that is hard to imagine.

First of all, it blocks your .exe files and does not allow you to open certain websites. Vista Security 2012 behaves like that because it needs to remain in your computer for as long as possible. The longer it stays the possibility to steal your money increases. Also, it prevents you from finding information on rogue removal. Instead, Vista Security 2012 redirects you to websites that are related to the rogue, and where you can purchase the full version of the program, but it is more than obvious that you should never do so, because then you would expose your financial information to the criminals behind this malicious software.

Next, Vista Security 2012 also does not allow you to operate your computer the way you are used to on regular basis. It will flood you with fake security notifications, saying that your computer is infected with spyware and you have to remove the threats immediately. For example:

If you cannot terminate Vista Security 2012 on your own, load your computer in Safe Mode with Networking (press F8 when you reboot), and then download a reliable computer security tool. Restart your computer again, install the program, and remove Vista Security 2012 with the security application that you can trust. The sooner you do that, the better.
