Internet Security 2010 is a rogue anti-spyware program

While at a client site we came across a new virus. It was called Internet Security 2010. This is a clever little one. I had some issues at first, but once I read the removal guide I was able to completely remove it. It disables outbound HTTP traffic, task manager and other items.

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.  Source : http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-internet-security-2010
