What is SecureKeeper?

SecureKeeper is a new rogue anti-spyware in the WiniSoft family. After ending one line of fake spyware removers, these scammers have changed the design and are now unleashing a new set of useless software upon the world. Much like any other rogue, SecureKeeper uses trojans to enter the system, and relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”, which isn’t effective at all.

Once inside, this parasite floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system, none of which are actually there. SecureKeeper also performs fake system scans, which mark harmless files as threats, and asks that you pay for the “full version” if you want to get rid of them. Do NOT trust this information – it has no basis whatsoever, and should be ignored.

SecureKeeper is a threat and should be removed immediatelly upon detection.

Manual SecureKeeper removal


Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove SecureKeeper, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

SecureKeeper 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 SecureKeeper can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SecureKeeper trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SecureKeeper offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SecureKeeper 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 SecureKeeper, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SecureKeeper, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

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


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as SecureKeeper?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
