The fake AV program requires a purchase to unlock the full version and remove discovered viruses from your computer. If that doesn't do enough to convince you to buy the fake antivirus application, Security Solution 2011 will start popping up pornographic and Viagra websites. You can encounter this rogue anti-virus when you do a Google search for pretty much any popular event or software, including anti-virus software, too. It is triggered by JavaScript code embedded in fake virus scanners. Upon clicking such site an animation is launched that looks like a scan is being performed. It may report hundreds of infections on your computer even though it doesn't actually scan the system. As you can see, Security Solution 2011 is nothing more but a scam. Although, Security Solution 2011 is easy to remove; it may block your anti-virus software and hijack web browsers.
