Do you know what OpenCloud Security is?

With all the sophistication invested into rogue security tools these days, it has become increasingly more difficult for even experienced users to distinguish between genuine and rubbish security tools like OpenCloud Security. This rogue antispyware application, which derives from the same family of rogues as Wolfram AntiVirus was never designed to be of any value to any PC, but instead was designed by criminal developers only out to rip its victims off.

This rogue makes use of various established forms of infection to gain surreptitious entry to its victims’ PCs without their consent. These range from using bogus online malware scanners to seditious browser hijackers. It has also been reported that OpenCloud Security makes use of infected online flash ads as part of its online marketing campaign.

Symptoms of OpenCloud Security vary from users being unable to launch any applications on the infected PC, as well blocked Internet connections. This is done not only to further annoy and panic the user into paying for OpenCloud Security, but also to prevent him from running or downloading an application which may be able to get rid of OpenCloud Security. Each time the user attempts to launch an application, he will be presented with the following fake security alert:

Warning!
The file "taskmgr.exe" is infected. Running of application is impossible.
Please activate your antivirus software.

Other fake security alerts generated by OpenCloud Security also include the following:

It may cause permanent data loss.

Warning: Infection is Detected

In you want to immobilize all these debilitating symptoms in order to more easily annihilate OpenCloud Security, enter the following activation key into the rogue:

Simply by entering the above activation key will not get rid of the threat. You will only be disabling the annoying symptoms associated with OpenCloud Security. You will still have to obliterate OpenCloud Security from the system in order to protect your PC against its divisive damage.

At the end of the day, you will only be able to regain control of your PC if you destroy OpenCloud Security immediately. This can safest be achieved by making use of a powerful security tool which will not only erase OpenCloud Security but also protect against similar attacks in future.

In non techie terms:

OpenCloud Security is a fake security tool only out to rip you off. Get rid of OpenCloud Security and protect your PC against this rogue’s harmful tactics.
