Remove Advanced Security Tool 2010
Posted on August 24, 2010 by SpywareFix
Scareware are some of the most dastardly forms of malware out there. Advanced Security Tool 2010 is an example of this type of rogue program. Basically, these programs sneak into your computer through security holes in your system (so update your programs and OS regularly) and inhabit your PC as a faux-legitimate anti-spyware application.
It regularly scans your computers and reports supposed infections to scare you and take your money. The scam is closed when you pay for an upgraded version that should get rid of your virus problems but won’t. In any case, those Trojans and malware that show up in its scan are fake any way and can be safely ignored.
Of course, you don’t want to just sit around and forget about this fake program sitting inside your computer. You need to remove it since it is still malware and could be used as a gateway by more dangerous viruses to infiltrate your PC. These might then steal your sensitive personal information and cause you to lose not just your money but also your online identity.

Security Suite, like most rogue anti-spyware, throws up fake scans of your computer’s drive, telling you that your computer is infected when it is not.

Remove My Security Shield

If you don’t, your computer will slow down immensely and you might need to have it reformatted if it gets infected with more malware since this will shut down your computer’s security apps.

Remove Virus Total 2010
Posted on August 10, 2010 by SpywareFix
Every computer user needs to be aware that viruses come in all shapes in forms, even as fake anti-spyware apps. These software often sneak into your computer not just through backdoor security holes but also as regular downloads in websites. Take Virus Total 2010 for instance. It is both promoted as a free antivirus solution that entices users to try it out but it can also infiltrate your computer through infected downloads, virus-ridden video codecs and tainted p2p files.
Once this software installs itself in your computer it will be hard to get rid of. It will send a never-ending stream of annoying popups to nag you to buy the upgraded version so that you can remove the viruses it sees. It’s all a scam of course since those viruses are likely fake and that Virus Total 2010 just put them there. Don’t part with your cash and fund this piece of scamware.
Another compelling reason to eradicate this software is that it shuts down your computer’s security system as part of its plan to hinder you from uninstalling it. This might lead to actual viruses and Trojans invading your computer and we all know where that road leads.
To remove Virus Total 2010 simply and effectively, read on and follow our guide below.

One innocuous link and you will suddenly find yourself facing the nagging pop-ups of this rogue software.
On the outside, it might seem that this app is here to help. After all, it does helpfully scan your computer for viruses, with just a few pop-ups saying you should buy the premium version to support them and get rid of the malware. But you will see that it will just get more and more annoying as time goes by and that eventually you will be pressured to buy the software just to make it stop nagging. Better hold on to your credit card though, this one is a scam.

Remove Antivir Solution Platinum
Posted on August 2, 2010 by SpywareFix
A copycat of another notorious malware called Antivir Solution Pro, Antivir Solution Platinum is yet another scam wrapped in a neat anti-spyware package. It is scareware at its finest, preying on the fear that most users have about viruses, Trojans and other malware.

You will also have to turn off any proxy servers that this app has created to further its misdeeds.
