Remove Internet Security 2010. Description and removal instructions

Title: Internet Security 2010	Also known as: InternetSecurity2010, IS2010
Type: Spyware	Severity scale: (71 / 100)

Internet Security 2010 (also known as IS2010) is a rogue antivirus program. Please read the removal instructions and get rid of this fake program from your computer as soon as possible. InternetSecurity2010 is a clone of Advanced Virus Remover malware. If you take a closer look, you will see that both programs use the same graphical user interface. This rogue application is promoted through the user of Trojans. Most of the time, Trojans have to be manually installed and may come from various misleading websites, for example fake online anti-malware scanners. When running such media player processes as QuickTimePlayer.exe, AdvancedDVDPlayer.exe, tvp.exe, realplay.exe, windvd.exe, winamp.exe, setup_wm.exe, LA.exe, PowerDVD.exe, mplayerc.exe, wmplayer.exe, Internet Security 2010 additionally displays many fake error messages, such as:

Windows can`t play the folowing media formats: AVI;WMV;AVS;FLV;MKV;MOV;3GP;MP4;MPG;MPEG;MP3;AAC;WAV;WMA;CDA;FLAC;M4A;MID. Update your video and sound codec to resolve this issue!

Internet Security 2010 imitates a system scan and reports many false system security threats. Then it will redirect its victims to vs-codec-pro.net where it is asked to pay for a full version of the program to remove those security issues or infections. However, do not buy it - this is a scam.

[Figure 1. Internet Security 2010 graphical user interface]

When running, Internet Security 2010 will also display fake security alerts. Those alerts will state that IS2010 has found critical vulnerabilities on your computer. The rogue program displays these infections:

Rogue:W32/XPAntivirus.gen!
AdWare.Win32.Zwangi
Trojan-Spy.HTML.Visafraud.a
Worm:W32/Agent
Trojan-PSW.W32/Steam
Net-Worm.Win32.DipNet.d
Trojan-Dropper:W32/Trojan-Dropper
Worm:W32/Downadup.gen
Trojan-Downlaoder:W32/Fakerean.gen!A
Net-Worm.Win32.Mytob.t
Trojan-Spy.Win32.Hookit.11
Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFrame.g
Virus:W32/Alman.b
Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.sd
Email-Worm.Win32NetSky.q
riskware.Win32
Rootkit.win32.agent

The supposed infections are usually detected in Windows System or System32 folder. If you decide to remove these infections with Internet Security 2010, you will get an activation windows [Figure 3] with further information what to do. This fake window states that application cannot be executed, the file is infected and a currently installed version of InternetSecurity2010 is for trial purpose only. You have to buy an activation code to remove the infections, which of course do not even exist.

[Figure 3. Internet Security 2010 - activation pop up]

Internet Security 2010 will also display fake notifications from Windows Taskbar. The fake notifications state:

System warning!
Intercepting programs that may compromise your privacy and harm your system has been detected on your PC. It's highly recommended you scan your PC right now.

System warning!
You've just launched an IS2010 Setup program. Please wait for 1-2 minutes till installation will complete.

[Figure 4. Internet Security 2010 - fake notifications]

At the same time you will be taken to the pay page of the InternetSecurity 2010. It is shown in the image below [Figure 5]. As you can see, it costs almost $50 dollars and even state that now they include AVG Firewall and Email Protection for free. That's obviously not true.

[Figure 5. Internet Security 2010 - purchase page]

There should be no doubts about this fake application. It's totally useless and even dangerous. Please use the removal guide below and remove IS2010 manually for free or use an automatic removal tool for this infection. If you have inadvertently purchased this bogus software, contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Also note that this infection can block antivirus software. If you can't launch an automatic removal tool, please end the Internet Security 2010 process first. Open Task Manager or use Process Explorer and terminate IS2010.exe. Good luck!

this genious of a virus pops up an infected message box when you try to get to task manager. however if u leave the message box up and ctrl alt delete again, the tm will come up, at least it did for me. killed is2010.exe, renamed the file in program files, then went about cleanup.

To get to your C drive, make the program send you to the internet. Then press F11.. This will give you an internet explorer bar. You can then get to your PC (C drive) and also to other sites to download Malwarebytes to remove it.

It's a pretty stupid virus and is actually pretty easy to remove.

Couldn't get Spyware Doctor to run or remove it manually - task manager was disabled by the virus (downloaded by my friend after clicking on an email from UPS about an undelivered parcel). But Malwarebytes Anti Malware shifted it no problem. Fantastic. Thanks for the info

10. by . 2010-02-17 08:02:51

I had the same problem I wasn't able to get in to task manager or the registry as the user logged in. But if you hold shift and do a runas you can run it as a different user and kill the processes and get your machine cleaned up. I edited my msconfig as well just to be sure

I was infected by this rogue program. The main issue with me was that my task manager and my registry editing tools had been disabled by the virus. I ended up having to reinstall Windows.
