Then it will deceive you into thinking that your computer is infected. Don’t worry about it, the infection that Total Secure 2009 detected is as genuine as Total Secure 2009 itself. The rogue only claims to have found infected files on your system to move on to the next step in this game of deceit.
What would this next step be? Why now that Total Secure 2009 has deceived you into thinking it is a genuine, legitimate security software application that has detected an authentic infection on your system, Total Secure 2009 will pretend to be able to remove said infection. But not free of charge! Only of the user purchases a license first. Keep in mind that Total Secure 2009 is a rogue security software application. It cannot detect, remove and protect against any kind of security threat. Paying for a license would only be a waste of time. What you should do is remove Total Secure 2009 from your system immeditly.
