Bytedefender Security 2010, also known as Byte Defender Security 2010 and BytedefenderSecurity2010 is not to be taken lightly.

It is important to note that once embedded within a computer system, Bytedefender Security 2010may attempt to kill all .exe processes, leaving the system without fully operational and functional processes; therefore before attempting to delete this PC parasite from a system, you must make sure you have backed up all your data.

The next step would be to download a reputable, trustworthy anti-spyware application in order to successfully remove Bytedefender Security 2010 and all its malicious components.

Once you have downloaded an up-to-date security tool, make sure you boot your Operating System up in SAFE MODE – this way, the chances of your system and all its .exe processes being affected is greatly minimized.

Safe Mode is basically the best option when attempting to troubleshoot a computer system, whether it be a driver problem or a spyware infection one needs to fix, safe mode is the way to go.

When in Safe Mode, the computer system loads the least amount of drivers and components, thus allowing you to perform the many tasks needed to restore the system to its fully functional state.

One can boot in safe mode with networking, and without networking.

Safe Mode without Networking:
To enable safe mode, simply press F8 (just before the Operating System’s loading screen appears) after the BIOS screen has disappeared. You will then be taken to an ‘Advanced Boot Options Menu’. You will then need to choose the safe mode you desire, by utilizing the arrow keys, once you are happy with your safe mode option, press enter.

 

Safe Mode with Networking:
One should only use this mode if this functionality is required. To enable safe mode with networking, you follow the same steps as safe mode without networking, the only difference is you will need internet access.

If you have Antivirus Pro 2010 on your computer, you are probably very sick of pop-up warnings that send you to a pay site.  You may have even bought the “full version” of Antivirus Pro 2010, thinking it would help.  However, this program isn’t an Antivirus.  It’s a Trojan, pretending to be something it is not in order to get on your computer and convince you to waste your money.  It’s the protection racket of the Internet age, and while it won’t rearrange your face, it may start to damage your computer and it will definitely waste your time.

Sneaking Onto Your Computer

Antivirus Pro 2010 gets onto your computer by tricking you.  The program usually is installed by either a pop-up that claims your computer is already infected or by pretending to be a file needed to play video or music.  Never install programs from sites you don’t trust, and even if you do trust the site think twice.

What Antivirus Pro 2010 Does To Make Life Miserable

The symptoms of Antivirus Pro 2010 are typical of this sort of spyware Trojan.  The first thing the program does is try to lock down any legitimate security programs running on your computer so you cannot use them to remove Antivirus Pro 2010.

You will also start getting warning pop-ups that say you have a virus.  These pop-ups are designed to look like other security programs, and may seem convincing. However, if you click on them, they will take you to a website that wants you to buy a “full version” of the software.  Don’t do it!  It’s a scam.  You are wasting your money and giving the scammers access to your credit card information.

Antivirus Pro 2010 will also hijack your Internet browsers to send any searches you try to make to sites filled with ads.

In some extreme cases, Antivirus Pro 2010 will disable your Internet connection.  It may be that the code that tries to prevent your security programs from working wasn’t written very well, but it can also break Windows and make it impossible for your computer to load.

Getting Rid of Antivirus Pro 2010

If your system is still working, there is hope that you can get rid of it yourself.  You should be able to start your computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 while booting up. From there you can shut down Antivirus Pro 2010 long enough to run a program that can remove it.  

You can also try to remove it manually, but be sure to get every single file and to not make an error while editing the registry.  If you aren’t sure about editing the registry, find a program to remove Antivirus Pro 2010 for you.

You need to find an anti-spyware program that knows how to deal with this malware.  Look for a company that you can trust, and do a little research on the company before downloading their product.  Check the company out with a consumer protection agency if at all possible.  Always be careful when you download a file.  Know what you are downloading and that you have control over when and how it is installed.
