How to remove Active Security
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 5:21 amActive Security description
Active Security is a funny name for a fraud. ActiveSecurity is far from a real spyware remover. It’s rather malicious and fraudulent than safe.
Active Security spreads via trojans and other malware. It brings various files upon installation process and later “detects” the same files as dangerous infections. The next step is easy to guess: ActiveSecurity offers deleting the “malware” after user pays for using the program. Avoid the fraud and remove it as soon as possible. It delivers annoying pop-ups and it messes web browser up.
