Cyber Security is a rogue antivirus application. It is in the same family as totalsecurity and SystemSecurity. This software installs through web popups and trojan horse activity makes false claims about your system being compromised by viruses and other security problems, hijacks we browser activity claiming many sites to be dangerous that are not and promises to solve many issues if you purchase. All of it's claims are falsified.

It is a piece of software that you would be best removing from your computer and there can be a number of approaches to get it off of your system. If you are lucky enough that an automated method will work that is very good, but it may take a bit more manual intervention to remove cyber security from your system.

First off, though thanks to bleepingcomputer.com for the following multilingual list of warning messages from cyber security:

This virus also impersonates Microsoft Security Center and in the Windows Security Center screen will be a link and encouragement to purchase Cyber Security. If ALL of this isn't enough... (but WAIT there's MORE!) Cyber Security Comes with a screen saver that simulates a blue screen and reboot cycle of your pc imploring you to purchase Cyber Security. The text (again thanks to bleepingcomputer.com is as follows:

***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0xF73120AE, 0xC0000008, 0xC0000000) A spyware application has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer SPYWARE.MONSTER.FX_WILD_0x00000000 If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure your antivirus software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your software manufacturer for any antivirus updates you might need. Windows detected unregistered version of %product% protection on your computer. If problems continue, please activate your antivirus software to prevent computer damage and data loss. *** SRV.SYS - Address F73120AE base at C00000000, DateStamp 36b072a3 Beginning dump of physical memory...

This is JUST a screensaver and not an actual bluescreen/ system crash. The price for this scareware in addition to your time lost is $59.95 if you've been tricked into paying for this mess. (I suggest you cancel payment because you'll do more good for your computer burning the cash than paying for this program.)

So, the first step for removing cyber security would be to download and install malwarebytes antimalware. It's possible that this pest may not allow the installation of this software (or running of a scan.) In that case here are some possibilities for you. 1) rename the executable file (mbam.exe) and then re-try installing. In other words if it prevents mbam.exe from running, rename it to somethingelse.exe and then try running again. 2) reboot into safe mode and repeat your installation attempt. 3) read on for the processes that will need to be killed off in task manager and after they are terminated then re-attempt your install and scan with mbam.exe

The following is the running process associated with cyber security. If you are unable to open task manager then you may try process explorer (or copy and paste task manager's exe file to another name.) To continue with your cyber security removal kill off the following process:

csc.exe

The following dll should be unregistered and deleted to remove cyber security: winsource.dll The following files and folders are associated with Cyber Security and you should delete these to complete removal of Cyber Security:

%docs%\All Users\Start Menu\CS

%docs%\All Users\Start Menu\CS\Computer Scan.lnk

%docs%\All Users\Start Menu\CS\Cyber Security.lnk

%progfiles%\Common Files\CSUninstall\Uninstall.lnk

%progfiles%\CS %progfiles%\CS\tsc.exe

%win%\system32\iehelpmod.dll

After any manual removal that includes the above files I would install, update and run malwarebytes antimalware as well as a reputable antivirus program to ensure that you've successfully completed the removal of cyber security as well as any trojans or other malware that may have enabled it to invade your system.
