Antivirus 2010 is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Antivirus 2010 can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Antivirus 2010 trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Antivirus 2010 offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Antivirus 2010 does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Antivirus 2010, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
I tried both the manual way and the Spy Doctor way.
The spy doctor way didn’t work because I would have to by that.
And the manual way didn’t work because when I deleted one of the processes it made my comp restart and the processes started up again.
Riley: Have you checked what viruses Spyware Doctor detects ? If the processes reappear after manual removal it means that you got more infection than this one. So you have to identify trojans that re-download malware.
you also need to clean the hosts file, or as soon as you go online it will reinfect from the website.
I suggest you download winsockxp.exe and use that to reset your file.
I kept getting re-infected until I found that trick.
