How To Uninstall / Remove Internet Security 2010 Virus

Good read here, fixed a friends PC with this spyware problem so you might want to bookmark it:

Internet Security 2010 is yet another rogue anti-spyware that surfaced online. The Internet Security 2010 rogue is also a bit of a virus, if you follow the standard definition. But the thing you need to know is that Internet Security 2010 will try to trick you into believing that your computer has serious security problems so that you buy the program. If you detect any of the symptoms we will talk about further, you should remove Internet Security 2010 as instructed below.

Before we skip ahead to removing the Internet Security 2010 virus, let’s talk a little about what Internet Security 2010 does in and with your computer. First of all, Internet Security 2010 gets installed on your computer via malware and will be immediately set to start each time Windows loads. Along with the program, a number of Trojans will also get on your computer.

After you computer got infected with the Internet Security 2010 virus (or series of Trojans), the next time Windows loads, you will get an error message stating that “Worm.Win32.NetSky” was detected on your computer. This is a fake message and you should not pay any attention to it, it will go away once you remove Internet Security 2010 from your computer. Then the Internet Security 2010 rogue will start and perform a fake scan of your computer. The scan report will list a number of infections but when you try to remove them, you’ll “conveniently” find out that you need to buy Internet Security first. Do not buy Internet Security 2010. If it got on your computer, you should use the instructions below to remove it from your computer.

The thing that makes Internet Security 2010 one of the worst of its kind is that one Trojan that comes with it blocks out certain applications. When this happens, you will get a “File is infected” warning and a recommendation to activate your antivirus software (by that, the warning means that you should buy Internet Security 2010. Don’t do that… just remove it using the removal guide below). Another Trojan that comes with Internet Security 2010 will instruct you to purchase a codec, called VSCoded Pro. This also a fake warning (and a scam) that will go away once you remove Internet Security 2010 from your computer.

With the risk of becoming annoying, we will tell you again not to buy Internet Security 2010. If you did purchase it however, you should contact your credit card company as soon as possible.

Ok, now that we’ve told you what this virus and the Trojans that come with it do, it’s time to remove Internet Security 2010 from your computer. Before that, you should know that following closely each step is crucial. In addition, because you will be asked to close all applications and windows, it’s a good idea to print out the removal guide first.

Step 1: Go here and download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware for free. Save the file to your desktop. If Internet Security 2010 does not allow you to download anything, you should download the setup on another computer and use an USB stick or a CD/DVD to transfer the files needed. Remember to place the setup file on the desktop.

Step 2: Click here to download the rkill.com file. Once the download is complete, run it. The rkill.com file will make sure the Internet Security 2010 will be closed for good so it does not interfere with the removal process.

Step 3: Close all open applications and windows. You now should be on the desktop.

Step 4: Run the Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware setup from the desktop.

Step 5: Go with the default settings during the install. CRUCIAL: Make sure you tell the software to automatically update itself (there’s a box you need to check during the install to make that happen). In addition, make sure you tell MBAM to automatically launch itself once the install and update processes are complete.

Step 6: When Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware loads, go to the Scanner screen, select “Perform Quick Scan” and then click the “Scan” button.

Step 7: When the scan is complete, press the Show Results button under the main “Scanner” tab.

Step 8: Check all the detected infections (so you remove both Internet Security 2010 and all related Trojans, as well as any other malware detected).

Step 9: When the removal process is complete, a log of the scan will be displayed in a Notepad window. You now have successfully removed Internet Security 2010, all related Trojans and any other infections detected by Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.
