Smart Security Descriptions:

Smart Security is a rogue anti-spyware application, a clone of Security Tool. The fake software can get into your PC in several different ways: it can either steal into your machine with the video codec or it can be a part of any flash update. In both cases, you don’t notice when it is installed.

However, after the installation process, Smart Security starts constantly scanning your computer. In addition, it keeps displaying warning messages that a threat was found and you are in danger. Don’t ever trust these computer hackers. They have designed this rogueware to make you believe you are in a great need of purchasing the full version of this software.
