Cybercriminals have been long disguising their attacks and
malicious software and programs, by naming them with the names of genuine and
established products and services. They use the names of a trusted and popular
products and services in order to fool the gullible users into their trap.
Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Virus, is one good example of such dubious
viruses.
Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Virus is basically a
virus, which has nothing to do with Microsoft or its flagship Microsoft Security
Essentials. In fact, this virus is a trojan variant, which once sneaks into the
victim’s computer, convinces the victim to install a rogue security software,
which itself is a virus or malware. Like every other ransomware, the Microsoft
Security Essentials Alert virus simply blocks the access to the victim’s files,
folders, Windows services and applications, desktop, add/remove programs etc.
It basically holds the victim’s PC hostage and then demands for ransom to free
the computer. It displays messages claiming that the infected computer has been
used in some illegal activities and that the victim must pay for the patch of
their copy of Microsoft Security Essentials.

Simply installing a comprehensive security solution like
Norton 360 or Norton Antivirus can help you stay secure from this virus. The
Norton security solutions are updated with this virus signature and can detect it
quickly and effectively. Simply run a thorough Norton scan of your system and
then remove Microsoft Security Essentials Alert virus (if present) from your
system. However, if you are already using Norton security software and are
getting problems in using its features, then it’s advised that you dial the Norton antivirus help phone number.
Simply calling for Norton support, which is provided by good
technical support companies like SupportMart and then availing their technical
support ensures that issues will be fixed effectively and easily. Good thing is
these support companies also provide technical support for other brands and
products. All you have to do is call at their AVG support number, Arovax technical support number, HP
support number, Gmail support number, Mozilla Firefox support number etc.
