Hello,
A number of spyware programs have attached themselves to my pc over the weekend; most notably "Internet Security 2010"
I have googled ways to resolve this and read the sticky at the top of this forum.
I have tried ad ware, malaware byte and symantec but its still there regardless.
Any help much appreciated. The effects are my pc seems to be running slower, programs are not opening and pops up are repeatedly shown for IS 2010

No. It will remove it.
Hitman Pro offers you a Free Scan for a second opinion. It is designed to check if your security measures work. If nothing is found (and we sincerely hope so), then you will never need a license. When a virus is found, then you will receive a free 30-day license to remove the threat.0 -
dog....
my misunderstanding then, thanks I will download it now and try it out on one of my VM's to test it out.0
