The scan results and notifications are false, don't trust this fake antivirus software and use legitimate anti-spyware application to remove it from your computer as soon as possible. OpenCloud Security may come bundled with other malware but usually it is promoted via hacked websites that use software exploits and drive-by downloads to infected end users' machines.

SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus usually imitates the legal anti-spyware software or some essential system components. Typically virus gets inside the computer with a help of trojans, that use security vulnerabilities for that. After getting inside the system, it tries to make it look like your system is infected with the numerous parasites, so it starts ‘scanning’ and finds numerous threats.
All rogue Anti-spyware along with OpenCloud Security have the same purpose: Get your money by using scare tactics. If you will believe that that fake threats are real and pay them money, you will not get them back even if you will ask to cancel the order in your Bank. All the infections are deceptive and you dont need to purchase their Paid version. You need to remove Rogue virus itself.
