Review on My Security Wall Software

As individuals we need a certain level of security when it comes to all levels of our lives. What we lived before (our experiences) shapes our interactions a lot. Whether we interact with humans or with technology, which is a major element for the world we live in. Most of the times, our expectations are not proved wrong, and sometimes the opposite will also happen to us. The security of your PCs is related a lot to the effects of a family of viruses. Programs like My Security Wall (also called a spyware) will try to make you believe they are protecting your computer. They are doing the reverse: they are compromising it the most they can.

Find Internet Virus and Malware Protection software: Classified Ads and Buy and Sell

So what is this malware and what will it do? This application appeared in February 2010 and, like the other applications that belong to the above mentioned category, acts as a real anti-virus when installed in the computer. Shortly after being part of your computer system, this rogue program will mimic a false system scan of your PC searching for threats. It is a fake system scan.

During that step, this malware will delete good and useful files and will create new ones. Those new files can be divided in 2 categories: first, some files that are totally harmless. Second, files that are part of this malware. You will get a long list of viruses, worms and so on (all false) that are supposedly part of your PC. Those files are either good ones (not infected at all) or just fake files that were just created by this spyware.

After creating those files, My Security Wall will further damage your PC the following way: you will get pop-ups and ads being displayed all over your screen. Upon surfing the Internet, you will always be redirected to compromised web pages rather that the ones you were looking for.

If you understood it correctly, this malware is a program that is going to hijack your PC besides slowing it down a lot. Therefore you should decide to either remove it manually or with the help of automated tools as soon as you observe the previously mentioned symptoms when using your computer.
