Total Win 7 Security

Despite Total Win 7 Security's name, Total Win 7 Security is not a security application. In fact, Total Win 7 Security is the complete opposite of a computer security tool. Total Win 7 Security belongs to a kind of malicious software known as a rogue security application. Rogue security programs are among the most dangerous computer malware. They attack on two fronts. On the one hand, rogue security applications like Total Win 7 Security attack your computer directly. They use Trojans and harmful scripts to make harmful changes to your operating system. On the other hand, rogue security applications also attack the computer user psychologically. The point of rogue's attack on the computer system is ultimately to convince you to give up your credit card information. Total Win 7 Security is a dangerous threat and should be eliminated immediately.

The Chameleon-Like Characteristics of Total Win 7 Security

Total Win 7 Security has a unique feature that sets Total Win 7 Security apart from other rogue security applications. Total Win 7 Security can change Total Win 7 Security's name and appearance depending on the infected operating system. For example, if Total Win 7 Security were infecting a computer running Windows Vista, Total Win 7 Security's name may be Total Vista Security. Total Win 7 Security can also add "2011" or "2012" to the end of Total Win 7 Security's name to make it even more variable. The way Total Win 7 Security accomplishes this is by choosing from three different sets of possible disguises. The file behind all the clones of Total Win 7 Security is called Ppn.exe (Total Win 7 Security may take other names made off of three random letters, e.g. Kdn.exe) which is delivered into a computer system by a Trojan. When Total Win 7 Security is being installed, it chooses from three possible sets of skins and names. Each set corresponds to one of the major Windows operating systems. It will choose the one that is appropriate for the operating system that Total Win 7 Security is attacking.

Removing Total Win 7 Security and Other Manifestations of the Ppn.exe File

To remove Total Win 7 Security and Total Win 7 Security's clones, start up in Safe Mode and use a trustworthy and fully updated anti-malware tool.

Total Win 7 Security also affects your computer system to prevent you from running any programs or accessing the Internet. To avoid this, Safe Mode only starts up with essential Windows components and prevents Total Win 7 Security from loading.
