Internet Security designed to protect is a computer
virus, which pretends to be a legitimate security program and claims
that malware has been detected on your computer. If you try to remove
these infections, the Internet Security virus will state that you need
to buy its full version before being able to do so.
Internet Security trojan targets users browsing Internet websites, and rely on social engineering to deliver its payload.
On infected or hacked websites users are prompted by a pop-up window that has been carefully crafted to resemble a legitimate security warning. These pop-up windows typically alert a user of a computer infection, and then prompt the user to download and install Internet Security to resolve the apparent issue.
Some of the infections may have come from users downloading an infected codec file when they were trying to watch a video online, or users who receive a spam email and open an infected email attachment. Once installed, Internet Security will be drop a random malicious file in a random folder under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in XP, or C:\ProgramData, in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
When Internet Security is installed on a computer, it will be configured to automatically start when you login to Windows. When it starts it will automatically perform a scan of your computer, then Internet Security will falsely report that it is infected with a variety of computer infections. If you try to clean these infections, though, Internet Security will state that you first need to purchase a license of the program before you will be allowed to do so.
Internet Security will display fake security alerts that are designed to think that your data is at risk or that your computer is severely infected.These messages include:
As part of its self-defense mechanism, Internet Security virus has disabled the Windows system utilities, including the Windows Task Manager and Registry Editor, and will block you from running certain programs that could lead to its removal.
This rogue antivirus has also modified your Windows files associations, and now whenever you are trying to open a program, the Internet Security virus will block this operation and display a bogus notification in which will report that the file is infected.
