Remove Windows Security Alert - Here's how

If you have captured the Windows Security Alert software or you receive such a message, you should remove it. We'll show you how it works.

Virus threat: Remove Windows Security Alert

1. Uninstall programs: First search for new, unknown programs in the Control Panel and remove them. Pay particular attention to the name "Security Alert". You can find detailed instructions in the practical tip "Uninstalling Windows programs".
2. Virus scan: The two virus scanners Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Dr. Web CureIt are considered extremely reliable. If it is only adware, a quick scan with the AdwCleaner helps.
3. Safe mode: If none of the programs were able to remove the malware, run it again in safe mode.
4. System recovery: If none of this helps, reset the system to an earlier point in time with a system recovery.
