SecurePCCleaner 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 SecurePCCleaner can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SecurePCCleaner trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SecurePCCleaner offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SecurePCCleaner 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 SecurePCCleaner, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

Also…If you’re trying to fix SecurePCCleaner, good luck. This program, nor will any other, find it. I have not found a program yet that has fixed my problem with SecurePCCleaner/Trustedantivirus. I’ve tried SmitFraudFix, Spybot search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Norton Internet Security 2008, McAfee Security 2008, Panda…nothing can find it.
I have the same problem and have also tried Kaspersky, Spynomore, CCleaner, AntiVBTrojan. Also, no fix. My Kaspersky can’t find it, my Spybot finds but claims to have removed but it just comes back. Please let me know if you find a way to remove. I think it has also bogged my machine down considerably. Thanks!
