How to remove WinSecureAV?
What is WinSecureAV?
WinSecureAV is another one of those rogue security programs we all came to love. This is a tool that incorporates Anti-Virus, Anti-spyware, pop-up blocking and firewall, having that in mind, the price is relatively small – nearly 50$. Sarcasm aside, all you get for paying those 50$ is, well, paying 50$ in support of scammers. This program is not unlike any other of the same sort: it tries intimidating you with false threats into buying the bogus full version.
The most common ways of infection with WinSecureAV is through Trojans and other spyware. Once active, the program proceeds to bombard you with pop-ups and fake system notifications, all of which say that you are infected. These pop-ups lead to the program’s homepage, where you can buy the program if you’re scared enough. Of course, it does nothing to help solve the problem.
The homepage of WinSecureAV is well-made, but still has quite a few give-aways of the program’s true nature. It fails to provide users with useful information, aside from the knowledge that WinSecureAV is "THE BIGGEST LEADER AMONG ALL ANTIVIRUS SOLUTIONS" and simultaneosly "one of the well-known leaders in the Internet security field", a strange uncertainty of status. One might also learn that the word "free" is synonymous to the phrase "costs 50 dollars" and that contacting by email is in fact filling-up a form. The errors in grammar and the lack of useful content make it difficult to take seriously.
Do not buy this program. If you are infected, automatic removal is recommended, since doing it manually can be a difficult task. Also, block winsecureav.com in your host files.

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