Windows Security Master Removal Guide

Do you know what Windows Security Master is?

Windows Security Master is one of those rogue applications that seek to earn money. Its main method is to convince computer users that their computers are infected and they have to use a security tool to make things better. This tool is, of course, Windows Security Master whose license costs about $99. However, we do not recommend trusting this rogue application because it will not do anything beneficial for you because it only seeks to scare you. The best solution is to erase Windows Security Master entirely from your system. However, it is not so easy, which is why we recommend that you use the instructions that we have provided for you below.

Once Windows Security Master gets on the system, it will not allow you to access your desktop and you will not be able to use any of your legitimate applications and open important files unless you remove it from your PC. What is more, you will definitely notice a strange program that looks like a decent Windows XP application. It will perform a scan and then provide you with a list of infections that supposedly reside in your system. You should not believe these results because it is just a fake application that seeks to convince you to buy the license. For this matter, it even displays various pop-ups and other fake alerts. Thus, if you notice a similar warning on your screen (see an example below), there is no doubt that you have encountered Windows Security Master.
