Total Security Removal

Total Security is a rogue anti-spyware program that is a clone of AntiVirus 360. This program is installed via Trojans that display fake security alerts about threats to your computer and then installs Total Security without your permission on to your computer. The rogue application will display fake alerts and warnings trying to scare you into purchasing the product to remove infections on your computer that it claims exist. Total Security will make additional false claims about your computers security and pose as Windows Security Center to try and get you to purchase the product.
