My system was hit with one called "Internet Security 2010" Pray you do not get it.
Big hassle but no big deal it was time to do a good cleanup of it anyway. I was searching the lost city Petra,in Jordan when it popped up and took over the whole system.
Google the name and you will see what it looks like, they sure do make it look legit. It overides the winlogin and creates a winlogin32 which should not be in your system. 384 corrupted file 54 high risks and just over 3000 temp files.

I feel your pain. A client of mine brought his girlfriend's laptop to me last week. She had the exact same thing. Its a real PITA.

I had it too due to my wife's spam crap in IE. Malware bytes anti-malware removed it and cleaned up everything well.

Yep... Malwarebytes Anti-malware will do da trick....

find out the mastermind behine this and remove both hands, literally, maybe after 3 or 4 of these lowlife scumbags lose their precious hands the others out there will cease to create viruses OR at least think twice. crude i agree but there are no consequences today

You might want to look at combofix also, these rogue av's are carrying all manner of payloads. Check the integrity of the download source as well, bleepingcomputer.com was the preferred source when I checked last time.

I don't think that will help Bruce. Those scumbags don't think they'll get caught. Does the death penalty really deter murder? Only for that guy.
