System Security is a fake anti-spyware malware that disguises itself as legitimate software for removal of web parasites. When System Security malware infects your computer system it begins generating pop-ups with scan results that show different infections on your PC. Then the malware offers to purchase the full version of System Security that will "remove" the found infections. However, System Security does not remove any threats from your computer, nor does it really scan your computer either. In addition, this malware can slow down your Internet connection speed and overall computer performance.
