Total security is not a virus that affects your computer but instead it is both a Trojan and adware that infects your computer registry that allows the program to run when you log in into a user account. Total security will start running a system scan of files showing up false files that are infected with virus. The scan will look like any other anti-virus, adware removal and spyware. An icon of a red shield with a cross will appear on the toolbar where the volume control panel, network connections and clock. This will appear to remind you that it is there, The icon will may look similar to the firewall shield if your computer firewall is off. There are different versions of total security as to the background changes of your desktop wall paper. A number of words, letters and or numbers are displayed to give you some notice of change rather than hiding it's self in the operational systems of your computer like a virus.
Total security is relatively hard to remove in the process of which it appears to be. Manually removing the program from the control pannel of windows will not work in the tab add/remove.
Total security is a trojan as well for this reason is that the file can be renamed and its presentation alter to look like other software that you may buy. Total security is only one of many names but this would be the most commonly infected adware. This adware that you might get or may get in the future may be installed by manually installed as a download file. Total security can come from unprotected active x while you browse the Internet. It may also be taken down by an email or even downloading music files, or even going to hacks and cracks sites.
As for the adware part is that total security will display these false virus to the host of the computer, Total secuity will announce you to purchase it's removal software for a price. This is why it is an adware and not a virus as it is promoting a product. Purchasing the software will not get rid of the problem, you'll just lose your money which is the intent of the creator of total security.
There may be buttons which display particular stop scan or exit the program that will not exit the scan but redirects you to the selling page no matter which button you click. Total security may allow 20 minutes of running time that allows you to use the program before a black screen appears that make your computer unusable. This black screen can be a form of a screen saver, although it is not tested if your computer will be seen and accessed by another computer by networks. If you where to extract files with another desktop via wireless or lan cable.
The removal of total security is very hard, steps have been taken by past computer technicians for the remove of this program are badly interpreted. A standard procedure is to take your hard drive apply your hard drive to another computer and run a scan of various anti-virus software's on your own hard drive. This wouldn't take away total security at all because the property of total security is not a virus but can be seen as an adware. Removals of this total security would be adware removal or "PC health advisor" and perhaps SPYBot spyware. Spybot was presumed as on of the first issues of the removal of total security at on stage of my computer user years.
