Personal Security Sentinel is a rouge anti-virus program meant to display warnings and alerts of system infections. The warnings and errors produced by Personal Security Sentinel are meant to look like a real warning for PCs trying to get users to purchase their removal software, this is a scam and should never be purchased. Personal Security Sentinel also leaves a computer open to further infections by altering internet settings as well as disabling Windows utilities, and redirecting web addresses and internet searches.

Manual Removal: The cause of the browser redirects is caused by the systems host files being changed to redirect website entries. To fix this open up My Computer followed by the C: drive, next choose the “Windows” folder then “System 32” next “Drivers” and open up the folder named “Etc”. In this folder you will find a file named “hosts” double click to open this file, when Windows asks what program to open the file in choose notepad. Here make sure the only address under the local host name is 127.0.0.1, any other entries are the redirects to harmful sites that will potentially infect the PC with more spyware or malware. Next open up Internet Settings found under control panel. Once the internet options are opened choose the connections tab, and in this window choose LAN settings. In this window uncheck the box for the Proxy server. Next delete the following files:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\095a\%UserProfile%\Application Data\Personal Security Sentinel\
