Active Security removal instruction. How to remove rogue ActiveSecurity?
Active Security (a.k.a. ActiveSecurity) is a malicious antivirus application clone of rogue CoreGuard Antivirus 2009, involving all annoying features of any rogue. This program starts fake scans of the computer, and then the attack of computer users begins.
The apparent signs of Active Security presence on your machine will include the following: general PC slowdown, multiple popup ads and unwanted scanners, disabling Task Manager and System Restore and occasionally Safe Mode; not to mention browser hijacking which leads to web-surfing redirections to insecure websites. But beware! This is a trap only for inexperienced users! Active Security can’t suggest anything helpful for you.
That fake antispyware program will creates a series of harmless files on your computer with the following names:
%System%slbrccsp.dll
%System%tlntsvr.exe
%System%wavemsp.dll
%System%wscsvc.dll
%System%Wbemtmplprov.mfl
%System%Driversusb8023.sys
Some examples of the alerts you may see are:
User’s activity loggers detected!
It’s strongly recommended to remove detected threats right now!
Most of the viruses and worms on your PC because of visiting pornosites or warez/torrent sites.
ANTIVIRUS IS RUN IN DEMO MODE. ACTIVATE YOUR ANTIVIRUS OTHERWISE ALL THE DATA WILL BE LOST OR DAMAGED!
DANGEROUS! ANTIVIRUS DETECTED SOME HARMFUL PROGRAMS ON YOUR PC! THEY MAY CORRUPT YOUR INFORMATION OR SEND IT TO HACKERS.

Monstrously annying utter (and not to forget dangerous) crap !!!
It also created icons of pornsites on my desktop.
An extremely annoying nag-window popped up every minute to “warn” me that there was some dangerous virus on my PC.
Booting up didn’t help at all because Active Security was already embedded in the booting up procedure and the nag-screens started again and again and again.
At first I was fooled to think it was Windows Security (it looks so identical !).
Finally I decided to purchase because I really became scared.
After the purchase the nag-popup-windows were gone, and about 32 “threats” were removed but ……..
My own genuine anti-virus program Trend Micro had not detected any of them !!!!
Anyway, I tried to do a normal copy and paste within Windows Explorer which ultimately totally failed !
Then I knew my whole system was wrecked by these dreadful clowns !!
Remedy ??
I went to Harvey Norman, who totally formatted (and thus wiped out my HD) and re-installed Windows-XP !
Plus ……..
TO MY BANK AND HAVING MY CREDITCARD IMMEDIATELY DISABLED.
I was so lucky to have all my data backed up (including my Outlook Express emails) just before my laptop became infected however I still had truckloads of work to re-install everything back to where it was.
And I still have a transaction dispute of course with my bank (purchase of utter crap instead of a genuine anti-virus program).
Beware for these very professional criminals who are able to fool most anti-virus programs !
that so called virus protection was so annoying! i’m glad i found this website. thanks. i wasn’t able to delete the
%Temp%\wow64main.exe
%Temp%\wscsvc32.exe
for some reason, my access was denied, so i still need a little help. i hate thinking about what kind of people have the spare time to annoy someone else.
Active Security is popping up all the time!!!
