System Security Antivirus belongs to the same family of fake antivirus programs as Antivirus Security and other malware programs that portray themselves as real security programs. System Security Antivirus is like many other rogue security programs in the fact that it installs itself onto your computer through the use of Trojan viruses. It also acts like a security program by showing your fake scan alerts and annoying popups that state your computer is infected. However, where this fake antivirus program is different from other spyware programs is where it slows down your computer because of how many resources it is using when running in the background.

Once you have removed System Security Antivirus from your computer using either the automatic or manual method, make sure to block it and other malicious software using a HOSTS file. Please note that with the automatic method, your computer should be protected from future spyware threats since you now have a spyware blocker program installed. We recommend downloading the HOSTS file from here, which contains a complete, up-to-date list of malicious websites especially if you used the manual method.
