I wouldn’t pay attention to the alerts that Antivirus XP 2010 generates, if I were you. In fact, I strongly recommend you to remove Antivirus XP 2010 immediately! What may appear as a helpful anti-spyware program is actually a treacherous malware poised to scam you.
Antivirus XP 2010 is usually downloaded through trojans lurking in sites that offer freebies. Always avoid video codecs and Flash player updates offered by sites not familiar to you. In all likelihood, they’re just coddling trojans that are ready to hijack your system once they are able to breach your defenses.

Ready to scan your computer with Antivir 2010? Stop this very moment! Antivir 2010 is a harmful program that attempts to fool unsuspecting victims it’s a legitimate anti-spyware. That’s right, the program you’ve just downloaded is nothing but deceitful malware.
How did it get into your system? Try to retrace your steps. Have you recently availed the services of an online antivirus website? Have you downloaded freebies like mp3s, video codecs, Flash player updates, or device drivers? If the answer to any of those is ‘yes’, then the culprit is a treacherous trojan.
Trojans that work with malware like Antivir 2010 can be downloaded from malicious online scanners or through freebies found on the Web. Once an Antivir 2010 trojan infiltrates your system, it will install a variety of small files into Windows system folders.
So that when Antivir 2010 conducts a scan, it will be sure to find the files it just created. If you’re gullible enough, you’ll believe Antivir 2010 when it reports them as harmful files.
Of course, those files are harmless, but Antivir 2010 (and its so-called “full version”) is not. So don’t waste your money on this good-for-nothing malware. Doing so will only lead you to trouble.
Were you searching for a review on that new anti-spyware program, Desktop Security 2010? Well, you’re in for a big surprise. Desktop Security 2010 is really a scam. That’s right, it is a fake anti-spyware designed by wicked developers to extort money from unsuspecting victims.
Your system usually gets infected by this malware through trojans. If you’re fond of downloading illegal copies of the latest movies, you have to be familiar with the video codecs some of them require in order to play. We’re sorry to tell you, but many of those video codecs are actually trojans. And that’s how harmful programs like Desktop Security 2010 make their way to your hard drive.
So what does this malware do? For one, it installs files and inserts entries in your Windows system registry. The purpose is to consume precious memory and CPU resources. Thus, you can be sure your computer’s performance will gradually deteriorate.
You’ll then see popups (generated by the malware itself) alerting you of the presence of malware in your system. The popups will also promote the “full version” of Desktop Security 2010 as the surest way to get rid of the said threats. You now know everything’s part of the elaborate Desktop Security 2010 scam.
After Spy Doc Pro hits you, you’ll need all the help you can get from a real spyware doctor. That’s because Spy Doc Pro is a good-for-nothing fake anti-spyware. This piece of malware breezes through your defenses by riding piggy back on treacherous trojans.
That’s why we always remind our readers to avoid downloading from sites they are not familiar with. Device drivers, mp3s, video codecs, Flash player updates (you encounter these often in free online games), and other online freebies are common sources of trojans; free online malware scanners too.
Once Spy Doc Pro enters your PC, it will immediately try to get hold of the Windows registry. It will then perform malware scans on various areas of your hard disk. These activities are of course just make-believe. Expect the results of these scans to report malware infections in your system. Naturally, the reports won’t include the real threat itself - Spy Doc Pro.
The reports are intended to scare you so that you’ll end up buying the so-called “full version” of Spy Doc Pro. This full version is nothing but a useless piece of software. Don’t even think of buying it because all it will do is steal money from you.
Live Enterprise Suite is a fake anti-spyware which proliferates through trojans and fake online scanners. Its main objective is to dupe you into buying a so-called “full” or “premium” version bearing the same name. In reality, Live Enterprise Suite is a scam - one that can cause grave disruptions to your computer-related tasks.
If Live Enterprise Suite manages to enter your system, it will target your Windows system’s most crucial features. For instance, it will disable the Task Manager, so as to prevent you from stopping whatever processes are aiding its activities. It will also interrupt your GUI navigation by rendering the Explorer.exe useless.
To catch your attention, it will run fake scans and notify you of the the presence of malware threats. It won’t mention itself among those threats of course. Live Enterprise Suite will keep on promoting its “full version” in all of its notifications if you ever interact with it. That’s why it is strongly suggested that you avoid interacting with its user interface as much as possible.
If you want to avoid getting fooled into buying a restless piece of rogue software or if you want to keep your credit card information intact, read our Live Enterprise Suite removal instructions below.

No need to fret, though. Not only do we have ways to remove the “Windows Security Alert” popup, we can also remove the malware that’s launching it.
Some malware developers have mastered the art of deception so well, that it’s easy to fall for their trap. Take the case of the “Warning Visiting This Site May Harm Your Computer” popup.
A quick glance at the screenshot here will make you think it’s the legitimate warning from Google and Firefox which they created to detect harmful sites. But really, are they very similar? Only if you don’t look closely. The legitimate warning goes this way: “Reported Attack Site!” … then gives you the option to click a button that goes, “Get me out of here!” or another button that goes, “Why was this site blocked?”
The fake warning, however, starts with this message: “Warning! Visiting This Site May Harm Your Computer!”. Then the two buttons are replaced with “Continue unprotected” and “Get security software”, respectively. The layout, theme, color, icon, and fonts, however, look exactly the same as the original. Beware, because this one is fake.
If you click on the “Get security software” button that follows the “Warning! Visiting This Site May Harm Your Computer!” alert, you’ll be directed to a bogus website that will try to deceive you into revealing your credit card information.
How did this happen? Well, getting this fake warning only means warning - your computer’s security has just been breached.
