It uses these methods in order to scare you and make you think that your computer is infected with Trojans, worms and other viruses when in reality the only infection is the MySecurity Wall itself.

My Security Wall video: (thanks to rogueamp)
The rogue program is promoted through the use of malicious software (usually Trojans). Trojans come from fake online "My Computer" scanners, misleading videos websites. My Security Wall is also promoted using social engineering. You shouldn't click on any links that you receive from people you don't know on Facebook, MySpace and similar sites. Once installed, this fake program creates numerous fake and harmless files on your computer, just like Security Antivirus malware does. Both fake programs drop the same files in UserProfile%\Recent\ directory: ANTIGEN.exe, cid.dll, PE.drv, ANTIGEN.drv, DBOLE.sys, CLSV.drv, ddv.dll, FS.drv, ddv.sys, energy.tmp, gid.drv, PE.exe, PE.sys, PE.tmp, tjd.drv, ANTIGEN.drv, runddlkey.dll std.exe.
Furthermore, MySecurityWall displays fake warnings and pop ups claiming that your computer is infected. Fake alerts state:
"System alert!
malicious applications, which may contains Trojans, were found
on your computer and are to be removed immediately. Click
here to remove these potentially harmful items using My
Security Wall"
"Suspicious software which may be malicious has been detected on your PC. Click here to remove this threat immediately using My Security Wall.
Click here to remove all potentially harmful programs found immediately using My Security Wall."
The biggest problem is that this virus blocks legitimate anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. It also disables Task Manager and other useful Windows system tools. Last, but not least, it modifies Windows Hosts file and adds many malicious lines. Because of that you will be constantly redirected to various bogus websites full of ads and false information or even porn sites. Search results will be probably redirected to findgala.com. As you can see, My SecurityWall is a total scam and serious threat. Get rid of it immediately. If you have purchased it, then you should contact your credit card company as soon as possible and dispute the charges. Read My Security Wall removal instructions below. Good luck and be safe!
