Win Security 360 is a fake system security application which is actually meant to harm the computer instead of protecting it. The parasite is distributed via various malicious websites which either pretend to be online scanners and find lots of “infections” or download and install Win Security 360 with the use of trojans.

The goal of Win Security 360 is to gain purchase from those users who fall into its trap and actually believe that Win Security 360 is a real antivirus and that paying money for it would solve the problem.

The program is also known to harm the existing security and make it more vulnerable. Win Security 360 should be removed as soon as possible.
