What is Files Secure?
When active on your computer, Files Secure 2.2 allows you to scan your system for spyware. This scan produces a falsified report in hopes of scaring you into buying the full version, which is, of course, no more real than the trial.
Files Secure's homepage is nothing out of the ordinary and provides us with quite a few give-aways that it is, in fact, a scam. First and foremost, there is no contact information - something a legitimate company would never be seen doing. Secondly, the content serves two purposes: intimidating users with spyware and promoting the fake program. Files Secure 2.2 homepage is registered to somewhat with the contact email "iedefender@gmail.com", which, as some of you may know, is also a rogue anti-spyware program.
Do NOT download or buy Files Secure 2.2 and block files-secure.com using your HOSTS file.

Files Secure is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Files Secure can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Files Secure trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Files Secure offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Files Secure not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Files Secure, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Files Secure, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
