Windows Secure Workstation Removal Guide

Windows Secure Workstation is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.FakeVimes family. This program is classified as a rogue because it displays fake security alerts and false scan results in order to trick you into purchasing the program. This particular variant is spread via three methods. The first method is the use of hacked web sites that exploit visitor's vulnerable programs in order to install the rogue without your permission. The second method uses web sites that display fake online anti-malware scanners that pretend to scan your computer, state that it is infected, and then prompt you to download and install Windows Secure Workstation in order to clean it. Finally, this infection is also spread through Trojans that pretend to be software required to view an online video.
