Security Mechanic - How to remove

Security Mechanic is a rip-off, plain and simple. This parasite pretends to be a legitimate – awesome even – security program, when in fact it’s the software equivalent of Taco Bell, as it correlates with Mexican cuisine. Security Mechanic makes its way to the system by using trojans, worms, or, occasionally, by way of manual download and installation. It relies on misleading advertising to sell something called “the licensed version of Security Mechanic”, which is a logically impossible combination of words.

Once inside and active, Security Mechanic floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may coincidentally be correct, Security Mechanic has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of the “threats”. It will also perform fake system scans, which produce results, fabricated in a way that creates the illusion of an infected system. Security Mechanic also provides the answer – pay money and everything will be taken care of. The truth is different altogether: pretty much the only thing you will get out of this program is a slowed system, and this can be achieved for free.

Security Mechanic is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block its homepage using your HOSTS file.
