Remove MySecurityVault by WhiteCanyon Software

MySecurityVault is a software program developed by WhiteCanyon Software. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named mysecurityvault.exe. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 11.28 MB (11,823,703 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 95% of users of MySecurityVault come from the United States, it is also popular in Australia.
