Infections of this type come from webpages that have been exploited without knowledge of the website’s administrator. Frequently, you won’t even be asked to install anything, the infection will just show up on your computer without any interaction from you. If this is the case, you should consider upgrading to a different anti-virus.

How Much Damage is Windows Virtual Security Doing?

Step 1. If you are unable to run any executable programs at all this may be from the virus changing your registry settings. If this is the case you may need to use this patch. It is only for Windows 7 computers. Download Win 7 Fix exe Issue here.

Step 2. You need to stop and delete the main .exe file that is running Windows Virtual Security.
