Vista Antispyware 2010 is a rogue security program that uses false scan results, fake infections, and fake security alerts/pop ups to scare you into purchasing the software. VistaAntispyware 2010 will be configured to start automatically when you log on into your computer. Once running, it will automatically simulate a system scan and list a variety of infections. The rogue program will claim that it cannot remove those supposed infections unless you first purchase the software. This is a scam in the first place, please don't purchase it! The reported threats either don't even exist or are absolutely harmless. Please read the removal guide below and find out how to remove Vista Antispyware 2011 virus from your computer.

The most annoying thing about VistaAntispyware2010 is not the fake security alerts but self-protection techniques. That's right, the rogue program blocks all legitimate anti-virus and anti-spyware programs and even not security related ones. Additionally, it will also block Task Manager and Regedit as well as other useful functions needed for rogue program's removal. As for fake notifications and security alerts then those are fairly common: fake Windows Security Center, fake pop-ups, firewall alerts and etc. Nothing very new actually. The same can be said about browser and Dekstop hijacking methods. Nothing new it this field too. The rogue program hijacks Internet Explorer and displays fake security messages when browsing the Web.

im currently in the process of removing through Spyware Doctor on my infected computer.
I went with the first set of instructions, as I didn't really understand the second. But the thing is, when you try to run the command, you input "cmd" into the textbox, the "command" one did not work for me.
