Does Windows Threats Removing sound like the name of a real program? Windows Threats Removing is not a real program name. Windows Threats Removing is a fake security program, and Windows Threats Removing is a scam. Don't waste your money or time on Windows Threats Removing.

What Does a Windows Threats Removing Infection Looks Like, and What Windows Threats Removing Really Is

Windows Threats Removing is part of the ever-growing Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware family. So, a Windows Threats Removing infection begins with the same old fake alerts used by all the other malware in this group. The fake alert malware, which is a Trojan, is hidden in a fake online virus scanner, malicious link, or freeware download. The Trojan downloads quietly and secretly, and once it is on your computer, it begins to generate alerts that look as if they are being generated by Microsoft Security Essentials. The alerts will pop-up from the System Tray, and they will warn that a Trojan has been found on the system. The alerts will recommend a scan, and if you agree to the scan, you will see another alert that says that the threat has been identified as a specific Trojan. This same alert will also recommend a download of anti-virus software in order to remove the "threat," and if you agree to download it, you are agreeing to download Windows Threats Removing in order to remove a threat that isn't actually there.

Windows Threats Removing causes a very standard set of symptoms. When you turn on your computer, as Windows starts, you will see the bogus Windows Threats Removing home screen before you see the desktop. This home screen uses the Windows name and logo, without permission, in order to trick you into thinking that Windows Threats Removing is somehow legitimate software. The only way to get past the Windows Threats Removing home screen is to let Windows Threats Removing run one of its fake system scans, which is something that Windows Threats Removing will do every time Windows starts. These fake scans will always turn up lists of fake results, after which Windows Threats Removing will always tell you that if you want to remove these numerous "threats," you need to purchase a license for Windows Threats Removing. If you follow that recommendation, you can give your credit card number to the crooks behind Windows Threats Removing, who will charge it and give you nothing in return. Windows Threats Removing is incapable of being useful or becoming useful, regardless of whether or not you pay for Windows Threats Removing.

Once you've cleared the phony Windows Threats Removing home screen, your computer will not be any more usable than it was while you were waiting through that fake scan. Windows Threats Removing will prevent other programs from running, including Task Manager, so you can't use Task Manager to stopl Windows Threats Removing. If you try to go online for help, Windows Threats Removing can redirect you to its own websites, or prevent you from accessing the Internet at all. Meanwhile, Windows Threats Removing will create a constant stream of fake alerts and error messages, which will continually repeat a handful of weird warnings about your ordinary programs and Windows services being somehow malicious. Of course, these warning messages will prompt you to purchase a license for Windows Threats Removing. Keep in mind that paying for a license – paying the ransom – will not cause Windows Threats Removing to leave you alone.

History of Windows Threats Removing and the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware Family

The family of fake security programs that Windows Threats Removing comes from is one that has been causing infections, under various names, for the past several months. Really, there's just one piece of malware, and every day it is re-released under a new name. Regardless of what it is called, this malware is part of a widespread Russian scam. In addition to using proper anti-virus software, you can avoid another infection with one of Windows Threats Removing's relatives by watching out for anything that calls itself security software and names itself according to the table below. "Windows" is always the first word, and the second and third words are chosen from the lists. The second or third word may be eliminated, creating a two-word name, such as "Windows Remedy."
