Personal Security Pro

By ESGI Advisor in Rogue Anti-Spyware Program

Personal Security Pro is a rogue security tool created by hackers to fool computer users by promoting the fake spyware removal program and then extort their money. Although Personal Security Pro is a fake anti-virus application, it still acts as a legitimate software program and urges the targeted user to purchase its supposed registered version to clean the allegedly corrupted PC. Personal Security Pro floods computers with lots of annoying pop-up security alerts and fake advertisements to scare attacked users that their PCs are at risk. However, none of these warnings messages indicate real data. Personal Security Pro cannot protect your PC but can only infect it as Personal Security Pro is a virus itself. Personal Security Pro can download unlimited corrupt files from the Internet and take over the system resources. Personal Security Pro can slow down functioning of your computer by affecting the computer settings and system files. Personal Security Pro may open its backdoor for the hacker to enter your PC to steal valuable and personal information such as credit card number, passport details, bank details, etc. and later use it for illegitimate purposes. In order to protect your computer, remove Personal Security Pro immediately from your machine and keep your system free of virus.
