Do you know what E-Set is?
Don’t be fooled by E-set’s uncanny resemblance to a genuine security application, as this rogue antispyware application is not affiliated with any legitimate security tool. In fact, despite what it may profess E-set is not capable of living up to its over embellished promises, and cannot detect or remove any type of threat from the system.
Users familiar with rogue security tools will identify the characteristics of E-set. It enters its victims’ PCs surreptitiously and will remain hidden from their attentions until it starts its attack on the system. Trojans are used to root the E-set infection into its prospective host PCs. These Trojans are distributed via fake online malware scanners and seditious browser hijackers, among many other dubious tactics. E-set has also been known to bundle its Trojans and malware together with other genuine security updates and downloads obtained from third party websites.
Once the infection is securely lodged in the system E-set will start its attack by spamming the victim with various fake security alerts. These fake security notifications are designed to panic the user into paying for E-set’s fraudulent software, receiving nothing of value in return except an empty, worthless shell.
Users who did not manage to destroy E-set in time complained about being unable to connect to the Internet, as well as being unable to launch any type of executable on their systems. This is done intentionally in an effort to prevent the user from downloading or running a program which could identify and erase E-set from the system. Other symptoms include increased erratic system behavior and poor system performance.
You will only be able to get control back of your PC if you take action against this rogue and annihilate E-set from the system. This is best achieved through making use of the removal power of a genuine security tool which will not only get rid of E-set but also protect your PC against future similar threats and attacks.
In non techie terms:
E-set is a fake security tool only out to rip you off. Never pay for any of its products, and obliterate E-set from the system the first chance you get.
Aliases: ESet.
