How To Uninstall Security Master AV

How To Uninstall Security Master AV thumbnail
Security Master AV slows your computer.

Security Master AV is a fake anti-virus program. The program claims that your computer is infected with malicious software and tells you that you must purchase the "full version" of Security Master AV in order to remove the infections. Security Master AV is difficult to remove because it cannot be found in the Windows "Add/Remove" programs list and it disables your legitimate anti-virus programs. But you can find and remove Security Master AV manually.
