Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode

Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode is a fake security program that pretends to be part of the legitimate Kaspersky-brand product Internet Security 2011. However, not only is Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode not a provider of additional anti-malware features, but having Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode on your PC actually will disable your real security software.

Where the Real Kaspersky Stops and Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode Begins

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode infections being distributed by trojan-typical methods, including posing as fake updates for media content such as Flash. Similar methods, especially those that involve fake browser updates or fake media codec updates, are also used by trojans like Zlob and Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert that distribute different types of rogue security applications. Since Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode may coincide with trojan-based attacks, any response to Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode should entail full scans of your PC, and not scans that are limited to finding and deleting Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode and nothing else.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode isn't very difficult to detect, although it doesn't try to pretend to be an independent program in the style of Albinos Defender or Bogema Security. SpywareRemove.com research team has seen three primary Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode symptoms that can be seen right away:

• Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode will create an icon on your Windows taskbar. If you click on this icon, you'll see the following pop-up, which informs you about an 'enhanced' mode that really doesn't exist on the genuine Internet Security 2011:

  "Attention! [Rogue security program name] operates under enhanced protection mode. This is a temporary measure necessary for immediate response to threat from virus. No action is required from you."

• The only other major aesthetic alteration that Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode makes is to change the update time for your real Kaspersky security programs. No matter how long it's been since you've updated, Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode will always make it look as though your software has been updated since the last time you logged in to your PC. In truth, naturally, Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode isn't letting you update your software at all.
• Lastly, Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 Enhanced Protection Mode will disable any well-known types of security software that it can find on your computer, including the original Kaspersky Internet Security 2011.
