How Internet Security 2013 Infects a Computer

As part of its attack, Internet Security 2013 ensures that Internet Security 2013 will run automatically whenever the infected computer starts up. As soon as the affected user logs into the infected computer, Internet Security 2013 displays the results of a fake system scan, claiming that the victim's machine was infected with various dangerous viruses and Trojans. Afterward, Internet Security 2013 continues to pester the computer user with numerous frequent error messages, all of which are fake and designed to scare inexperienced computer users into seeking an 'upgrade' for Internet Security 2013. Fake error messages associated with Internet Security 2013 will claim that a keylogger infection was found, the infected computer was 'hacked' and the victim's computer is in danger due to a Trojan working in the background and a severe malware infection that could potentially damage the infected computer.
If the computer user attempts to use Internet Security 2013 to remove these nonexistent malware threats, Internet Security 2013 will display other error warnings asserting that it is essential to 'upgrade' to a full version.

Instead of doing this, ESG malware researchers advise computer users to use a real, reputable anti-virus program to detect Internet Security 2013 for what Internet Security 2013 is and remove Internet Security 2013 completely from the infected PC.
