How to remove Total Security rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Total Security (aka TotalSecurity) is one of the most invasive rogue anti-spyware programs for the time being. Judging from its distinctive features, Total Security appears to have very much in common with another dangerous fake spyware remover called Antivirus 360 which is presently a #1 threat for internet security. Just like its forerunner, Total Security propagates through Trojan infection that strikes without the users’ awareness. These trojans may get on board absolutely undetected using system backdoors and security software flaws, or they may intrude as a hidden component of some insecure downloads or spam email attachments. No matter how they got inside, the trojans promoting Total Security will issue multiple bogus alerts stating that your system is badly infected and you need to do something about it. Clicking on these alerts (even to close them) will automatically install Total Security corrupt trialware. Once inside and operating, Total Security will trigger fabricated system scanners that report more infections you supposedly have on your PC. Then, Total Security will offer its “services” for eliminating these threats. This way, Total Security tends to promote its PAID licensed version. The truth is that the parasites listed in Total Security scan reports are framed-up and probably do not even exist. Do not get tricked into registering Total Security licensed version. Total Security is a rogue which is not only tricky but dangerous. It’s critical to remove Total Security once detected on your computer.
