RST Antivirus 2010 Pro is yet another rogue anti-spyware app that you should watch out for. Like other programs set to scam you out of your money, this program will use virus pop-ups and scare tactics to get you to purchase their “paid upgrade”. Don’t! Buying it won’t solve your malware problem and worse, you’ve handed over your credit card details to a potential criminal entity.
Other possible problems you may face when getting infected with RST Antivirus 2010 Pro are computer freezes, sudden restarts, malfunctioning keys, loss of free disk space, browsers getting redirected to illicit sites and programs not launching properly. You can also lose more than your computer to this malware since it can let in other Trojans, worms and viruses that can potentially wreck havoc to your social networking accounts, personal and professional websites and online bank accounts.
You will need to remove this software as soon as possible to prevent future attacks on your computer from happening. After cleaning up, remember to be wary of strange offers and messages that show up in your web browser, email, Twitter and instant messages. And always scan your computer for malware regularly.
