Winweb Security 2008 is another malware that tries to get money disguised as a security tool. Winweb Security causes various problems instead of protecting a computer. It loads large amounts of pop-ups, it slows computer’s performance and it hijacks web browser. These are symptoms of computer parasite, so taking WinwebSecurity as anti-spyware and purchasing it is not a wise idea.

WinwebSecurity2008 is usually installed by trojans. It runs computer scan and reports numerous infections and it offers deleting the malware for $50. The threats reported by Winweb Security are falsified in order to make people interested in purchasing Winweb Security 2008. This malware is also capable of redirecting web browser to winwebsecurity.com. Fortunately, the website is poorly made and it can’t milk visitors’ money because payments page isn’t working.

Hello. I also cound not find WinWeb Security anywhere on my computer, not in files, directories, processes, or registry values. So how do I remove it manually? But, I sure do have it in my computer, as it pops up about every minute! Help!

Using Malwarebytes, Winweb Security is not found or removed on my laptop. So, what's the use of promoting an anti virus/spyware program? Even Spydoctor did not find Winweb Security. I guess the only solution is removing it manually.

It is named on my computer as 636574606.exe. I cannot find the correct registry values to delete, however.

You state that Winweb can't milk visitors money because the payment page isn't working it does tell you that your payment hasn't worked but it does in fact take money, as we know from experience.
