Internet Security 2010


Internet Security 2010 is a fake application designed by computer hackers whose main goal is to gain money easily from ordinary computer users. It's a rogue antispyware program that enters computers with a help of Trojan viruses. It doesn't require the authorization of the user and doesn't leave any notification about installation.

Once inside, the application is configured to start automatically when computer is rebooted. It pretends to look for infections just like a legitimate antispyware program. Later it generates a list of infections stating that they are damaging your system so you must immediately get rid of them.

Internet Security 2010 also displays fabricated security alerts stating that a worm has been detected on your machine and then recommends fixing the problem by purchasing a full version of its program.

Moreover, the program tends to block many legitimate computer programs. When you attempt to start certain application, the Trojan will terminate it and display a message warning that the program is infected. Besides, the message promotes purchasing Internet Security 2010 as a legitimate security tool. The application blocks some of the programs in order to protect itself from being uninstalled. This means that your legitimate security tools are very likely to be blocked too. So your system stays unprotected.

As you see, Internet Security 2010 has nothing in common with a reputable antispyware program. Please ignore any scan results or messages provided by this rogue antispyware program. Instead consider removal of Internet Security 2010, if it happened to you to detect it running on your system.
