Total Security 4.52 description
Total Security 4.52 is widely spread rogue application. It’s in fact the same malware as Total Security and Total Security 2009. The program may look like a security tool but it’s malicious and dangerous for a PC.
TotalSecurity 4.52 functions as typical fake anti-spyware. It loads pesky alerts encouraging users to buy the full version of this tool. The warnings also inform people about various computer infections. None of the messages loaded by Total Security4.52 should be trusted since the paid version doesn’t exist and the reported threats are fabricated.
TotalSecurity4.52 brings additional payload too: it corrupts the system by deleting random files. It may also remove valuable data this way.

Boot your computer in a safe mode and Total Security won’t be able to block anti-spyware. I strongly recommend removing the infection manually. This way you can know for sure that every malicious file is deleted.

This site is not bogus. Actions of malware and files installed may differ on different computers.

Jason,
Were you able to find any help on this? I have the same problem as you. It seems no one has an answer that doesn’t involve “boot in safe mode”, or “download and run xyz”.

I can’t get to this damn virus.This is gonna cost me and I wish to heck our lazy,no good,worthless government would get off their selfcentered fat butts and do something about this crap!!! Here comes the Geek Squad and there goes $$$$$”s!!

Safe mode doesn’t work. None of the files to delete show up in searches. The automatic removal programs are seen and reported as infected by the virus program, so they don’t work. All the other solutions involve me spending money I don’t have. What is the big difference in those who create these sorts of malicious programs, and those who wait with a solution to get it off your puter, but want money for it? Who is the ISP of those who are sending out total security 4.52? Where are governments is hunting down those responsible for this program? Why, if the case is that the perpetrator is invincible to punishment, can’t a government simply provide a solution to removing the virus?

I have done everything we recommended to do to manually removel the total security from my machine. The only spot it is showing up and visible is the quick launch bar down by the clock and that is it. Not in Add & remove or anywhere else can it be seen. Help!!! any other suggestions. Can not start my machine in safe mode, can’t get on internet now, could this morning but not now. Thank goodness my husband has another computer that I can use. I just need some suggestions. This is a brand new computer, only 2 week old. I am just sick and do not know how I even got it.

Booting a system in a safe mode is not necessary for the manual removal. Follow the removal guidelines provided above the comments section.

cannot stay on the computer for long enough to be able to find the files that need removing as Total Security gives me the big blue screen of death. I also cannot start in safe mode as another blue screen appears telling me that there has been an arror doing so could harm my computer. So basically, i cant remove the malware – is this correct?

It seems that Total Security 4.52 has already deleted files necessary for Windows to run properly. I recommend reinstalling the operating system.

Hi, I just got this darn malware this morning & I think I got MOST of it using Malwarebytes (I’m currently running a FULL scan again to be super sure).
I went in manually to all the place outlined above & none show..EXCEPT these in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center “AntiVirusOverride” = “1″
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center “FirewallOverride” = “0″
Just to be sure, am I COMPLETELY deleting these lines from the location in the registry or changing them to zeros?? The latter registry line shows a “0″ for the value data instead of a “1″ so it through me off a bit. My Avast anti-virus popped up a little while ago with a “suspicious file found” out of the blue on some generic executable, so I’m guessing their are still some remnants on my PC of Total Security 4.52. Appreciate the help if any.

“0″ for the value data instead of a “1″ means the registry value is normal. If you don’t receive any pop-ups and your web browser is not redirected, your computer is most likely fine.

Luciana,
TS has changed there file names apparently. None of the 3 file names you mention under “Stop and remove Total Security 4.52 processes” are on my infected computer. Add and remove programs in Windows doesn’t show that any such program is installed. There are no TS or TSC files in Program Files on the C: drive. It’s hiding somewhere!

We will update the list of malicious files and registry entries as soon as possible. For now, I recommend running anti-spyware.

Use the manual removal guide. Norton is not supposed to delete this infection.

In safe mode I cannot burn DVDs or CDs, how can I get my data out in safe mode?
I ran ad-aware in safemode and it found the Trojan, but there were still some files in the temp Internet folder that I could not delete. Is it safe to reboot normally? I did a search on the hard drive and did not find any “tsc” files of any kind. Thanks for the help in advance.

Booting is a normal mode is OK. Delete the remains of infection in a normal mode and then run antispyware once again.

Booting up in normal mode, I was dissapointed to find that I did not get rid of the total security 4.52. Since I got the virus I turned of my wifi because I did not want to get any more viruses. I’m not sure if I can get on since it seems like total security is blocking all programs I try to run!

I got Total Secutrity 4.52 on my pc recently. I tried to remove it manually, but I can’t find none of the files, exes, dlls or registries, mentioned in the guide. I can’t even stop its processes ‘cos there is no tsc.exe, Sc2C21UvvM.exe in the Task Manager Panel.
At the same time, the icon is isntalled on the tool bar and the program is running “properly”.How do I get rid of it?

Since manual removal isn’t very helpful in your case, i recommend running anti-spyware scan.

What an annoying virus this is indeed
I still had my normal wallpaper when I just booted the comp, so I figured the virus was somewhere in my booting programs. I got some program called Malware Bytes on my desktop, once my comp booted I directly opened it. Since the virus wasn’t active at the time it opened and I was able to scan + remove. If that wouldn’t work then my 2nd thing to try would be what Luciana said idd, go into Safe Mode (press f8 when booting comp) and run some removal tool there. Or maybe even use System Recovery if you really cant get rid of this annoying thing. Another thing I was going to try was to try and see if I could disable it if it was along with my other Boot programs. To do that go to execute, and type msconfig. Go to the bootup tab and see if you can disable it through this (not sure if this works, just a thing I was gonna try if option 1 didn’t work). Hoped this helped a bit, and thanks Luciana for being such a big help aswell. Gl!
