Remove Windows Security System (Removal Guide)

Windows Security System is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.Contra family. This rogue displays fake scan results and warnings in order to scare you into thinking your computer is infected. This program is installed via two methods. The first method is Trojans that download and install the program on to your computer without your permission. The second are fake online scanners that state your computer is infected and then prompt you to download and install the program.

When installed, the rogue will also create numerous harmless files in your Windows Temp folder that will then be detected as malware when Windows Security System attempts to scan your computer. If you attempt to use the program to remove any of the files it detects as infections, it will state that you need to purchase the program before you can do so. As all of the files it detects as infections are harmless or legitimate Windows files, please disregard the scan results and do not purchase the program.
