See this Description: Antivirus 2010 Security Centre is a dangerous rogue anti-malware application that endeavors to trick users into believing that their computers are infected by malware with the aim of getting them to pay for a software license. Antivirus 2010 Security Centre gets downloaded and installed on user systems thanks to Trojans that get downloaded from malicious websites by exploiting security vulnerabilities in the system. Once installed, Antivirus 2010 Security Centre proceeds to load up as a startup service, performing endless fake anti-malware scans from the point of startup onwards, making it practically impossible to do any sort of work on the system. These fake scans report a load of malware applications that are not really installed on the computer. A range of fake pop-ups displayed from the Windows Taskbar add to the feeling that the computer is under threat. The GUI of Antivirus 2010 Security Centre, which is similar to some well-known antivirus applications, tops off the illusion that this is legitimate software. The aim of all this trickery is to get the user to pay for the 'full' version of Antivirus 2010 Security Centre, under the pretext that the currently installed 'trial' version is not sufficient to remove the detected 'threats' to the system. However, you should never fall for this trick as no version of Antivirus 2010 Security Centre can scan or clean your system.
