Active Security Descriptions:

Active Security is the latest rogue anti-spyware program used to mislead computer users and steal their money. The software usually sneaks into your computer without even noticing that through Trojans which start to perform nasty things.

At first, Trojans create certain files on the personal computer, and configures the registry to start Active Security every time the machine boots. After that the software starts to scan your computer and recognizes the files it has created as infections. In addition, you get different pop-ups on your screen. They are also used to warn you that the system is infected. However, all the means are used in order to make you buy Active Security.
