Cyber Security is a relatively new misleading application that shows fake scan results in an effort to trick and scare the user into purchasing the program. These types of bogus applications are referred to as Smitfraud in the virus and spy-ware removal world.
This rogue client is a direct clone from Total Security Center. Once installed on your computer it can do many different things. Often times it will block other programs like anti-virus clients running and may also block security websites so you cannot download or install updates to remove this threat.
As you can see without being able to use any real security program this threat can be very hard to delete. Often times the computer user is still able to boot into safe mode and run their current security software program. However they may still be unable to get security updates. When a user can not get security updates it's normally because the Windows Hosts file is infected and they need to re-set it. Once the Hosts file has been re-set most people can then get the needed security update to remove the threat.
For others out there they may find that a manual removal of this threat is the only thing that works for them. The key to removing Cyber Security is to delete the executable file before it is able to run. Often times this can be done in safe mode. The location of the executable file and the name of the file changes over time but often it is called csc.exe or tsc.exe. and located under %Program Files%\CS\ or under the %AppData% folder. Keep in mind that the application data folder is a hidden folder on your system so you would need to setup your computer to show hidden files and folders in order to gain access to this folder.
Once the executable has been removed you should now be able to run a full scan using whatever your favorite security client is. As you can see this is not an easy task to remove Cyber Security and in many cases a computer repair pro is needed to provide that expert support.
