Feeling Unsafe With Total Security Rogue Software

Once Total Security installs itself on a computer it begins to take over the computer and make it appear that it can fix the many problems that it found on the computer. It will run a scan of the computer and find a multitude of infections on the computer none of which exist. If the fake scan is not enough to fool someone the program will also remind the user that their computer is infected with a variety of popups and list of infections and problems with the computer. Making it even less obvious that it is not a legitimate piece of software is the Total Security Center portion of the program that attempts to be like Windows Security Center. This can lead to confusion in many people who are not as computer literate as it can trick them into believing that the software comes from or is associated with Microsoft. When the user decided that they have had enough and want to remove all the problems that were found Total Security will popup another message that says the only way to remove the problems are by purchasing the full version of the software. The software should not be purchased as it does not do anything, the program needs to be removed, and if purchased the charge needs to be disputed right away with the appropriate credit card company.
