03 - Remove Antivirus XP 2010 with Microsoft Security Essentials & Windows Firewall installed

All this happened on the 4th of March 2010.

Hello. These posts (4 of them) are short videos of my first experience of my computer being attacked /or/ taken over by malware. The specific program that attacked me was Antivirus XP 2010, but if you search the net you'll see there are many variations of this program on the same theme.

I used Spybot Search & Destroy to regain some control of my system and then I ran Malwarebytes and then I followed the instructions found at the website listed below to completely remove the program from my system.

My XP OS was/is fully up to date, I was running Microsoft Security Essentials, which was fully up to date, and my Windows Fire Wall was turned on.

The problem is you're using Internet Explorer. Use Firefox, Chrome or Opera instead.
