Remove Internet Security 2010 (Uninstall Guide)



Internet Security 2010 is a rogue anti-spyware program that is installed through the use of malware. Once installed, Internet Security will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. It will then scan your computer and display numerous infections, but will not remove anything until you purchase the program. These infections, though, are all fake and are only being shown to trick you into thinking you are infected so that you then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not purchase this program.

Internet Security 2010 is typically bundled with numerous Trojans that display fake security alerts on your computer. For example, one Trojan will display a message when you login into Windows before you see your desktop. This message will state:


Security Warning!

Worm.Win32.NetSky detected on your machine.


It will then recommend that you purchase the program to remove the infection. When you start certain programs, another Trojan will display a message and then terminate the program. The message it will display is:


Application cannot be executed. The file is infected. Please activate your antivirus software.


Some of the programs that will cause this message to be shown include Notepad, the CMD prompt, Freecell, Minesweeper, Nero, Windows Messenger, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Window calculator, Skype, and PowerPoint. This same Trojan will also display a warning when you try to run programs, such as Windows Media Player or WinAmp, that play audio and video files. This error message is:


Windows can`t play the folowing media formats: AVI;WMV;AVS;FLV;MKV;MOV;3GP;MP4;MPG;MPEG;MP3;AAC;WAV;WMA;CDA;FLAC;M4A;MID. Update your video and sound codec to resolve this issue.


It will then prompt you to purchase VSCodec Pro, which is another rogue program, to fix the supposed problem. Just like the scan results, these security warnings are fake and are only being shown to try and convince you that your computer has a security problem.


As you can see, Internet Security 2010 was created to scare you into purchasing the program. Without a doubt, you should definitely not do so, and if you have, you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that the program is a scam.

Remove Safety Anti-Spyware (Uninstall Guide)



Safety Anti-Spyware is a rogue anti-spyware program that displays false scan results in order to trick you into thinking you are infected. When this rogue is installed it will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once running, it will scan your computer and state that there are numerous infections on your computer that have the names Win32.1, Win32.2, or Win32.3. If you try and remove these infections, though, it will state that you first need to purchase the program before it will attempt to do so.

Therefore, please do not act upon any of the results displayed by this software.


While Safety Anti-Spyware is running you will also fake security warnings on your computer that state that malicious programs have been found. The text of this warning is:


Security Warning!

Just like the scan results, these fake warnings should be ignored as well as they are just another trick used to scare you into purchasing the program.


As you can see, you should not purchase this program regardless of what it may state. If you have already purchased the program, then please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.
