Vista Home Security 2013 is another malicious rogue antivirus that scares inexperienced users into thinking that theirs computer are seriously infected and need the specialized full version program in order to remove all the parasites.

Unable to detect any real threats, this rogue software basically deceives users by giving false positives in its scans to ascertain its usefulness.

This rogue software may look sophisticated and authentic, however it is just another clone rogue application that pretends to be antivirus software. Once your computer has this threat installed, your computer will experience malfunctioning programs and applications and many fake pop-up alerts that you can’t stop it. It scans your computer just like a real PC cleaner but that’s only what the whole process looks like. In fact, the scan does not reveal any true facts about how your system is functioning for the moment and whether or not it has spyware on board. It just reports the things you don’t actually have. Naive computer users are the main victim of this misleading warning. They often end up purchasing the Vista Home Security 2013 registration key, believing that it is genuine. At last, they get nothing from this software but lose all the money. This malware is usually installed without the user’s consent or knowledge. It can be surreptitiously hidden in a different program, tricking the user into installing it. Don’t be fooled to install this pest or pay for it. It is a scam indeed (for more similar scams). All you should do is to remove it from your PC quickly in case it destroys your computer further.
