In this episode we touch on basic internet security. I will add the links soon, please note that I am sick, so if I sound out of it a bit dont be too hard on me .

The other day we came across a computer infected with Personal Security. Here is what we found out about this malware.
From Bleepingcomputer.com

Personal Security is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Cyber Security. This program is promoted through the use of malware that will install it on your computer without your permission. In order to protect itself, this program will automatically attempt to terminate security programs that may help to remove it. When installed, Personal Security will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once started, it will scan your computer and display a variety of infections, but will state that it will not remove them unless you first purchase the program. In reality, the infections it finds are either fake or legitimate programs that if deleted could cause problems with the proper operation of Windows. Therefore, please do not act upon any of the files it states are infections.
