Once installed, Internet Security ‘Designed to protect’ will automatically scan your computer and then state that there are numerous infections on your computer. If you attempt to remove any of these so-called infections it will state that you first need to purchase the program in order to remove anything.

Internet Security ‘Designed to protect’ will display fake security alerts that are designed to make you think your computer is seriously infected. See the messages below

To protect itself from being removed, Internet Security ‘Designed to protect’ will also not allow you to run most programs on your computer. Instead when you attempt to launch a program, Internet Security ‘Designed to protect’ will display a message that states that the program is infected. The text of this message is:

As many of the detected files are actually legitimate, please do not manually delete anything that this rogue detects as it may affect the proper operating of Windows and your installed programs.
