How to remove Secure Veteran rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Secure Veteran (also known as SecureVeteran) is the most recent offspring of hackers’ “brainpower”. The cyber gangsters who released Secure Veteran seem to be evidently obsessed with the military thing – just check out the denominations of this rogue’s forerunners: SecuritySoldier, SecurityFighter, SaveDefender, SaveArmor, SafetyKeeper, BlockDefense, SystemCop, QuickHealCleaner and some other odd-maned ones. Even though Secure Veteran does sound weird, it’s in fact an extremely hazardous and annoying application. SecureVeteran infiltrates one’s system through the host PC’s security exploits, firewall flaws, or it might get distributed via browser hijackers like SecureVeteran.com or Systemthreatkiller.com. Once Secure Veteran finds itself inside one’s system, it immediately makes itself “comfortable” with the new environment by embedding some of its own Registry Keys and files into the compromised system. After that, the worst part starts – the numerous ads will keep popping up with high frequency and report tons of malicious applications which are on your PC (allegedly). Secure Veteran will also scan your system for viruses and claim to detect even more infections. That’s the way Secure Veteran tries to win your trust and make you think you need its commercial software to cure your computer system. Do not fall for Secure Veteran tricks; just remove this rogue ASAP if detected on your PC. Please, see more information on Secure Veteran detection and removal issue below.
