My computer has been infected by anti virus 2010, it will not remove through 'add or remove'?

a program that i've tried before to remove malware and had fairly great success with is a program called malwarebytes. it can be downloaded from malwarebytes.org. just download the latest version, perform the necessary pattern updates & run a quick scan. you will be amazed what it will find.

Good Luck!!!

Hello H,

This is not good. Anti Virus 2010 is a very nasty spyware infection. Once your computer is infected, it can be extremely difficult to remove this harmful application.

A couple months back, I had a very nasty spyware infection. It completely screwed my computer up, and I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer.

I tried a couple of free spyware removal programs, but they could never fully delete all of my spyware from my computer.

They also could not fix the errors in my registry.

It seems like you have a similar problem.

It wasn't until I found a website in google that allowed me to scan my computer for free, and then decide if I wanted to delete it or not. Of course I did, and I haven't looked back since.

The program I use is XoftSpySE, and it has kept my computer spyware and pop-up free for a couple of months now, it also has an optional registry cleaner (which is probably also a good idea).

You can find the website below.

If you do know how to do this, but some aren't functioning right, try using regsvr32. If you do not understand how to do this, you should hire a technician to lead you through the following directions ^^..

Good luck babe.

Try a system restore to a date before getting this that should remove it
