Thread: How to remove Win 7 Security Trojan Shorten URL

Win 7 Security is one of the recent rogue security software being installed by Trojan FakeRean. This trojan chooses randomly from a list of names each time it is installed. It has the following list of names for Windows 7:

Win 7 Security, Win 7 Defender, Win 7 Defender Pro, Total Win 7 Security, Win 7 Smart Security 2010, Win 7 Internet Security, Win 7 Security Tool, Win 7 Antimalware, Antispyware Win 7.

A rogue security software such as Win 7 Security belongs to a family of software products that call themselves as antivirus, antispyware or registry cleaners and often use deceptive or high pressure sales tactics and deliberate false positives to convince users into buying a license/subscription. They are often repackaged and renamed. They do not actually remove malware instead many of them add more malware of their own. Users should not fall for the fake alerts and must not buy the scareware. They need to be removed immediately from your system.
