How to remove APcSecure?

What is APcSecure?

APcSecure is just one more fake anti-spyware application from the “famous” WiniSoft family. Being a typical member of this group, APcSecure gets into the targeted system through Trojans infections that pretend to be updates necessary to view certain videos online. The sad news is that instead of these updates people download and install Trojan which lets the rogue inside. Also, the same Trojan virus configures it to begin automatically when computer boots up and creates fake random files that are dropped in the system. These files are invented with one big reason – to detect them as malicious ones. APcSecure expects its victims to become scared that they have tons of cyber threats on their machines and hardly seeks to sell them its so called “full” version as a reputable anti-spyware.

APcSecure constantly imitates scanning the machine for viruses. Fake security alerts and messages are also displayed by this program and the same information about active malware found or attacks of a remote computer is given. At the end, ApcSecure, though, will state that it won’t remove these infections until you first purchase it. This is obviously a lie because the program in reality is not capable to detect anything. People should simply ignore all its notifications.
Here are the examples of bogus alerts produced by APcSecure:

As soon as the victim downloads APcSecure trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, APcSecure offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, APcSecure does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as APcSecure, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
