My Safe PC 2014

My Safe PC 2014 is a rogue anti-malware program based on the FakeRean family template and includes various security-harming attacks such as blocking other programs, hijacking your browser and displaying fraudulent malware warnings. Alerts from My Safe PC 2014 infections will attempt to convince their victims that their PCs are being attacked by numerous PC threats, including keyloggers and other forms of spyware, but My Safe PC 2014 can neither detect nor delete real malware. The typical reaction to My Safe PC 2014 always should be to use a real anti-malware product to remove My Safe PC 2014 immediately, although SpywareRemove.com malware researchers usually find that some additional security steps are required to gain unimpeded access to all necessary software.

My Safe PC 2014: Ironically Making Your PC as Unsafe as Possible

My Safe PC 2014 is disguised to look identical to a real anti-malware product, but actually is scamware that can only attack your PC, rather than protect it. The majority of My Safe PC 2014's appearance and attacks are culled from previous members of its family (identified by SpywareRemove.com malware experts as FakeRean). My Safe PC 2014's family has numerous branches with minor divergences in behavior, including individual variants like Antivirus 2008 Pro, Antivirus XP 2008, Windows Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, PC Clean Pro, Antivirus Pro 2009, Rogue.Vista Antivirus 2008, AntiSpy Safeguard, ThinkPoint, Spyware Protection 2010, Internet Antivirus 2011, Palladium Pro, XP Anti-Virus 2011, CleanThis, XP Security 2012, XP Home Security 2012 and AntiVirus PRO 2015. Symptoms that one may expect from My Safe PC 2014 or most related rogue anti-malware programs include:

• My Safe PC 2014 will reroute any attempts to use executable (EXE) program files towards itself. In most cases, My Safe PC 2014 will block the affected program and generate a fraudulent pop-up claiming that the program has been infected. Some basic Windows programs, including your browser, will remain unblocked.
• If you attempt to use your browser to navigate to a security-related site (such as Microsoft.com), My Safe PC 2014 will hijack your browser and redirect it to a fraudulent warning page.
• In a less visible (but no less dangerous) attack than the above, My Safe PC 2014 also will make various changes to your browser that harm your PC's security. Typical changes may include blocking the Windows update cycle or deactivating your default firewall.
• In accordance with its disguise as an anti-malware product, My Safe PC 2014 also will display pop-ups and system scans that are pre-configured to always 'detect' PC threats on your computer even if My Safe PC 2014 is the only malware present. These deliberately misleading attacks are intended to frighten you into spending money on My Safe PC 2014's fraudulent software registration, which supposedly will disinfect your computer.

Getting Real Safety from My Safe PC 2014

Ordinarily, PCs that are infected with My Safe PC 2014 are compromised by secondary Trojans or by online exploit kits like Blackhole Exploit Kit that also may install additional PC threats besides My Safe PC 2014. Due to this inherent risk, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend using anti-malware software to scan your computer generously for clearing up any My Safe PC 2014 infection, which should allow you to identify any other malware related to its presence.

Because My Safe PC 2014 usually will block anti-malware programs on sight, you may need to disable My Safe PC 2014 before using all necessary security software. However, booting from a secure peripheral device can allow you to launch Windows without My Safe PC 2014 and related PC threats also being launched. SpywareRemove.com malware experts also recommend using Safe Mode as the preferred anti-malware scanning environment whenever possible.
