How to remove Secure Warrior rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Secure Warrior (aka SecureWarrior) is the most recent representative of the rogue anti-spyware family which also includes such badware programs as Secure Fighter, SecureVeteran, SecuritySoldier and SecurityFighter. Secure Warrior finds and attacks its random victims by means of trojan viruses involvement, which ensures imperceptible and authorization-free intrusion of the rogue unregistered version. One more known method of Secure Warrior distribution is browser hijacking that results in redirecting people to fake online security scanners which install Secure Warrior malicious trialware. Having thus infiltrated the host system, SecureWarrior triggers tons of deceptive alerts and runs its bogus system scanners to scare the user into believing the computer is under multiple risks and needs to be protected by Secure Warrior commercial software. The trick is – SecureWarrior has to be purchased first so that it can “remove” the allegedly detected infections; so the cyber-crooks are simply trying to make you waste your money. Our opinion is there’s nothing wrong about purchasing software online, but Secure Warrior is NOT the case. The program is rogue and potentially system-disruptive. The only right thing you can do is uninstall Secure Warrior and never let it inside again. Please, see more information on this issue in the passage below.
