System Security 2011

As of October 2011, System Security 2011 is a relatively recent clone of other forms of rogue anti-spyware programs that reuse the same series of visual interfaces and fake warning messages. Like other fake security and anti-virus programs from System Security 2011's group, System Security 2011 pretends to offer firewall-monitoring, active PC threat alerts, system scans and other features that could theoretically combat viruses and other PC threats, but these features have all been faked in favor of creating alarming and highly-negative false positives. Since System Security 2011 doesn't offer genuine protection from viruses, Trojans or anything else, there's no reason to purchase a System Security 2011 registration key, which may actually endanger your credit card with additional incidents of fraudulent charges. In fact, SpywareRemove.com malware experts suggest that you delete System Security 2011 ASAP with a real anti-malware product, since System Security 2011 and other rogue security products in System Security 2011's family have been known to block programs, redirect web browsers and cause other system malfunctions.

Examples of some of System Security 2011's clones include Any contact with these fake security applications or their websites should be considered just as harmful as installing a rootkit or Trojan onto your PC, particularly since System Security 2011's family has also been known to be bundled with the ZeroAccess rootkits, on some occasions.

Secondary Afflictions of a System Security 2011 Infection

SpywareRemove.com malware research team has also noted that System Security 2011 and related infections, such as ZeroAccess rootkits and TDSS rootkits, can also cause other attacks that make it difficult to remove System Security 2011 by appropriate methods. These include:

• Browser hijacks that block your ability to visit PC security websites and redirect you to System Security 2011's site.
• System Security 2011 may launch itself without permission and run as a concealed form of background process. This allows System Security 2011 to resist deletion and interfere with Windows in a variety of ways until you shut System Security 2011 down, preferably by using a Safe Mode boot.
• Anti-malware programs and other types of real security software may be blocked, or even display false error messages about being infected or severely damaged.

System Security 2011 is also identified by the name TrojanSPM/LX. You can use the code '9992665263' to fake a registration of System Security 2011, which does nothing other than cause System Security 2011 to reduce the frequency and severity of System Security 2011's attacks. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts especially warn you against trying to remove System Security 2011 while it's still active, since System Security 2011 has been known to be able to avoid deletion by otherwise competent anti-malware programs, if System Security 2011 is not shut down beforehand (for example, by rebooting into Safe Mode).
