Remove Windows Secure Kit 2012 (Uninstall Guide)

Windows Secure Kit 2012 is a fake online virus scanning website. If you received such misleading warnings (see images below) on a website telling you that your computer is infected with spyware, worms and many other viruses, you should close your web browser immediately. Do not click on "Remove all" or "Cancel" because the JavaScript code triggers malware download even if you click Cancel (deceiving action). Windows Secure Kit 2012 is a good example of a social engineering attack when cyber criminals prey upon user's fears to install malware. The source of Windows Secure Kit 2012 attack may vary but what I've learned over the past few years - there is no such a thing as a safe website. Cyber criminals can compromised popular websites as well, so malware source can be websites all over the internet even the trusted ones. Recent variants of Windows Secure Kit 2012 have spread mainly through compromised ads. Cyber criminals usually use free domain services such as uni.me to redirect traffic to rogue security programs.
