Hi there,
This AntivirusPro 2010 managed to sneak onto my computer (I was doing bookings at guest houses on the internet when it happened!). I followed various extensive lists of advices given on the web (yours is about the 40th site I visited over the last two days) to remove it but alas, the false security center in the control panel remains as well as the red icon with the white cross in the tool bar below right, as well as the occasional balloon with bad spelling, reminding me that my computer is infected. Strange my Antivirus program seems unable to remove it as well. As soon as I click on the “security Center” icon or reboot for instance. it re-activates the virus and I have to go through the full circle again. No progress ..

Hi Tinus,
Same problem here but been having other virus popping up after finally getting rid of 2010. I found the .exe files and when trying to delete, it did not work. But, I was able to change the name and disable it and then delete it. Good luck with this one, it’s a nightmare!

Absolute nightmare this one, no sooner you think you have it removed than your system closes down for a re-boot and it has secretly installed intself again from somewhere.
I’ve followed everything advised and some combined deleteing just about everything any on a huge number of sites suggested deleting, switched off system restore, booted in safe mode, run TMIS Pro, MWBW, SpyHunter, CC Cleaner
And just when you go phew and thing you’ve got it your system closes down as it suceeds in yet another silent install.
PS I picked it up off a DHL Email, or one reporting to be from DHL.

Not sure where I picked this virus up from. It can be really difficult to get rid of because every time you try to download a program that might help it redirects you to there website to upgrade to there useless program. I used program called combofix to get rid of it once and for all. pick it up here
