Win Security 360, also known as WinSecurity360, is a corrupt and misleading anti-spyware program that spreads on the web with the help of Trojans popularly transmitted in video codecs, email spam, and crack websites. Once the Trojan has secretly installed itself on the computer, the user gets a security alert prompting to install Win Security 360. The unsuspecting and scared user will download Win Security 360 in hopes of fixing the security problem. Win Security 360 runs a system scan and shows a list of viruses it has detected on the computer. Win Security 360 even goes as far as to list trustworthy programs as viruses.
Furthermore, Win Security 360 stops other trustworthy programs from running and will state that the real program is the infection. The following misleading fake security message will appear:
"Application [PROGRAM].exe has crashed because of Conficker.Worm Virus.
