I was making out with my MacBook, running Parallels so I could use Windows XP and remember why I own a glossy Apple. And while my fingers were flying ‘cross the keyboard, double-checking my dot-com in PC land, I get a pop-up:

“Warning! 1283748123470917234 threats found!
PCSecureSystem has detected a trojan on your PC. To buy PCSecureSystem On-Line, click here.”

I’m smarter than my wearing hooker heels to business lunches implies, though, so I skipped clicking that shit and Google’d. Turns out PCSecureSystem is rogue anti-spyware, which means PCSecureSystem is to real anti-spyware what peep-toes by Mr. Madden are to platforms by Monsieur Louboutin. In other words — don’t buy PCSecureSystem. From 411-Spyware.com:

PCSecureSystem may popup exaggerated security alerts to try and trick you into buying PCSecureSystem. PCSecureSystem may launch when you start up Windows, and PCSecureSystem may cause excessive popup ads that are difficult to close.

If you’ve had the misfortune of meeting PCSecureSystem, you can remove PCSecureSystem here. There are PCSecureSystem removal instructions and a free spyware scan for PCSecureSystem.
