Is Smart Security fake or real? Well, i got a Smart Security alert pops up telling there are the 300 errors i have on my computer, those can be fixed with anti-virus program right? Or is it a result of this virus? If it is Smart Security Virus, how do i know if i have more viruses than just this one? I have no idea, that’s what i saw earlier and i looked it up on Google and found answers and one of them told me to use, i think it was malware or something which i’m assuming is an antivirus/spyware program and ran the free version it said it found more than 100 errors or something and i need to pay to get the activation code (Register key) to get the full version. Any suggestions?
