KvmSecure Removal Process (remove Kvm Secure)
May 10, 2008 – 7:47 amKvmSecure Explanation
KvmSecure or Kvm Secure, is a deceitful and fake anti-spyware program that attempts to notify computer users that they are infected with a bunch of bogus spyware parasites. KvmSecure can be very annoying if you have it installed on your system. KvmSecure is just like having a dog that will never stop barking.
We found out that KvmSecure alerts users through a Spyware Threat message that says the following:
“Spyware Threat. Your computer is infected with Spyware: Adware.Win32.Agent.rf, Packed.Win32.NSAnti.r, W32/Netsky-P. Remove All Spyware”
This message is a scare tactic and is not 100% true. Although you may have other spyware infections on your computer. KvmSecure will not actually detect them nor remove them. KvmSecure may be downloaded through a Trojan infection that you may have got from a fake video codec download or from the KvmSecure.com website. KvmSecure.com is a dangerous site because it advertises the KvmSecure program which should be avoided at all costs. Do not fall for KvmSecure or KvmSecure.com’s scam.
