Internet Security 2010 is a rogue anti-spyware program that is installed through the use of malware. Once installed, Internet Security will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. It will then scan your pc and display numerous infections, but will not remove anything until you purchase the program. These infections, though, are all fake and are only being shown to trick you into thinking you are infected so that you then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not purchase this program.

1. Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.
2. When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing and is at the last screen, make sure you uncheck both of the Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware check boxes. Then click on the Finish button. If Malwarebytes’ prompts you to reboot, please do not do so.If you receive a code 2 error while installing Malwarebytes’s, please press the OK button to close these errors as we will resolve them in future steps. The code 2 error will look similar to the image below.
   
3. As this infection deletes a core executable of Malwarebytes’ we will need to download a new copy of it and put it in the C:program filesMalwarebytes’ Anti-Malware folder. To download the file please click on the following link:
   

   Malwarebytes’ EXE Download

   When your browser prompts you where to save it to, please save it to the C:program filesMalwarebytes’ Anti-Malware folder. When downloading the file, it will have a random filename. Please leave the filename the way it is as it is important that it is not changed. You may want to write down the name of the file as you will need to know the name in the next step.

4. Once the file has been downloaded, open the C:program filesMalwarebytes’ Anti-Malware folder and double-click on the file you downloaded in step 8. MBAM will now start and you will be at the main program screen as shown below.
   
5. Before you can perform a scan, you must first update the program. To do this click on the Update tab, and that at the new screen click on the Check for Updates button. Malwarebytes’ will now check for new updates and download and install them as necessary. When the update is completed, you will be prompted with a message stating either that you already have the latest updates or that they have been updated. Either way, you should now click on the OK button to continue.
6. Now click on the Scanner tab and make sure the the Perform full scan option is selected. Then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for Internet Security 2010 related files.
7. MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can take quite a while, so we suggest you go and do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan. When MBAM is scanning it will look like the image below.
   
8. When the scan is finished a message box will appear as shown in the image below.
   

   You should click on the OK button to close the message box and continue with the Internet Security 2010 removal process.

9. You will now be back at the main Scanner screen. At this point you should click on the Show Results button.
10. A screen displaying all the malware that the program found will be shown as seen in the image below. Please note that the infections found may be different than what is shown in the image.
    

    You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps.

11. When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window.
12. You can now exit the MBAM program.
13. Due to the fact that this infection deletes certain MalwareBytes’ files, and we had to work around this, if you wish to continue using MalwareBytes’ Anti-Malware, which we suggest you do, then you should uninstall and then install it again so that the files are created properly.
