How to remove Windows Smart Security?
What is Windows Smart Security?
Windows Smart Security is another version of the rogue parasite Smart Security or Smart Security 2009. This rogue is known to extort money from unsuspecting computer users by infecting their PC’s with the help of Trojans. After that, Windows Smart Security starts displaying numerous popups and alerts disguised as windows defender messages, and persuading people to download its full version to remove these threats. One of such fake messages looks like this one:
“REMOVE ALL SPYWARE FROM YOUR PC!
SECURE YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!
ARE STILL THERE and could break your life!
with all the images, and all the downloaded and maybe later removed movies or mp3 songs -
Every site you or somebody or even something, like spyware, opened in your browsers,
FOR YOUR BOSS, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILDREN.
YOUR DATA IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR FORENSICS. AND IN SOME CASES
LOGGED. AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THEM WITH STANDARD TOOLS.
WHEN YOU VISIT SITES, SEND EMAILS… ALL YOUR ACTIONS ARE
ALL YOU DO WITH COMPUTER IS STORED FOREVER IN YOUR HARD DISK.
YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE!
YOUR’RE IN DANGER!”
The full version of Windows Smart Security will refuse to remove any threats without paying outrageous sums of money and will not allow to uninstall it without the license key. It will continue to bug users about various non-existing Trojans, and render the PC useless. If a user decides to pay for Windows Smart Security, the creators of this malware might charge multiple times just to make sure that they got as much money as possible.
I recommend getting rid of Windows Smart Security at once after detection. It is a dangerous program, and comes with different kinds of parasites.

As soon as the victim downloads Windows Smart Security trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Windows Smart Security offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Windows Smart Security 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.

It then proceeds to download or even install Windows Smart Security, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Windows Smart Security, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
