Windows Virtual Security Removal Guide

Windows Virtual Security is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.FakeVimes family of computer infections. This program tries to trick you into thinking that your computer is infected by displaying fake security alerts and fake scan results. When Windows Virtual Security is first installed it will also create hundreds of Windows Registry entries that does not allow you to launch your normal security programs or Windows utilities. When you attempt to run one of these programs, it will instead open Windows Virtual Security, which will state that the program is infected. It does this to make you think all of your programs are infected while at the same time not allowing you to use programs that may assist in the rogues removal.
