Personal Internet Security 2011.


Personal Internet Security 2011 is useless and even dangerous application which is foolishly presented as a powerful security software, capable to protect your PC.
However, in reality this software should be classified as rogue anti-spyware which just like Personal Security Sentinel, Internet Antivirus 2011 will do its best to steal your money and infect your computer with more cyber threats like trojans, worms and others. It’s definitely dedicated not for computer’s security but for ripping people off by selling its fake license. The trial version of PersonalInternetSecurity2011 applies dishonest methods for its secret infiltration into the targeted computer and then will do many tricky things trying to gain successful purchases of its license. Malware is usually distributed through Trojans, so it is capable enough to get on the computer silently via security vulnerabilities found.


When it’s inside and active, Personal Internet Security 2011 surprises everyone with common features of other rogue anti-spywares what means that it will classically show numerous alerts and pop-up ads telling that your machine is full of malware. All these exaggerated spyware detection reports will be popping up every time your PC is rebooted and then will notify about upcoming malware attack you are incapable to handle unless you purchase the licensed full version of Personal Internet Security 2011 software. You should bear in mind that though this program seems to be a legit antivirus and anti-spyware thing, in reality it is the only malware that needs to be removed.

Although it is possible to manually remove Personal Internet Security 2011, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend  malware and spyware removal applications.

After removing all these files, restart your computer and the issue will be fixed. And don’t forget to do update your Security Software, check the Firewall Settings and the Operating System and finally do a full system scan with the Security Software.
