Virsu Name: Vista Internet Security 2010 (which is also known as Vista Internet Security) is a newer OS-specific rogue anti-spyware program that will show itself in different ways according to the Operating System it is installed on. It uses the same old fake software tactics of trying to trick the user into buying a software license by scaring them using fake security warnings. It gets downloaded by Trojans which reach the user’s system through infected Facebook or MySpace advertisements as well as through fake codecs. Once installed, Vista Internet Security 2010 will start performing fake scans on the computer, giving out fake reports that warn the user that their computer is at risk. Furthermore, this rogue software claims that its currently installed ‘trial’ version cannot remove these detected fake ‘threats’, and urges the user to buy the ‘full’ version of the software. However, it is important to remember that Vista Internet Security 2010 is merely a fake program and it cannot scan or clean your system in any way.
