Remove Home Security Solutions (Uninstall Guide)

I mean the graphical user interface not the actual antivirus engine. Home Security Solutions is distributed through the use of infected websites, Trojan downloaders, and software vulnerabilities exploited by popular exploit kits. I think this time cyber crooks use the BlackHole exploit kit, which would cost $2000 for an annual licence. What makes this virus unique is that it fills up your computer with randomly named harmless files and then detect those files as Trojans, keyloggers, rootkits, etc. Home Security Solutions pretends to scan your computer for malicious code thus creating countless pop-ups about critical infections and claiming that your computer can't be fix unless you purchase the bogus program.
