    Re: removing Total security virus

    The Total security virus is nothing but a clone of XP Virus Protection malware. Both of these programs are malicious and fraudulent.TotalVirus Protection is actually a total scam. It’s not an anti-virus and it’s not capable of scanning a machine or detecting infections. Nevertheless, it reports virus attacks and similar security issues and it demands money for dealing with the problems. Needless to say, the alerts are falsified in order to trick people into purchasing Total VirusProtection. TotalVirusProtection is a malware. Don’t trust the program and avoid websites that promote Total Virus Protection as an anti-virus tool.
