Internet Security 2010

January 22nd, 2010

I just got done cleaning Internet Security 2010 off of a customer’s computer so I thought I would alert you to the threat.

From Bleeping Computer:

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.

If you want to remove Internet Security 2010, the instructions are here. If you are not comfortable following the steps, give use a call. If you live in Metro Detroit, we can pick it up or clean it in home. If you live outside of our area but your internet is working, we can connect remotely.
