Cyber Security relies on misleading advertising to sell it’s so-called “licensed version”.

The main trick used by CyberSecurity malware is reporting imaginary threats and offering paid version of the tool for deleting the fake infections. Don’t trust this application. It blocks certain programs and websites. Cyber Security may also disable system restore.

Security Tool is typical fake anti-spyware application. It’s a copy of the notorious Total Security scam.

Spyware.IEMonster activity detected. This is spyware that attempts to steal passwords from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook and other programs. Click here to remove it immediately with SecurityTool.”
