[Paisley007]

I want someone to help me to get rid of Win32/PCAntispyware2010.A. I am using Windows Vista operating system and my browser is Internet Explorer 8. I am using Kaspersky antivirus in my system and it has detected this infection in my computer. I keep getting alerts like false warnings, pop-ups and fake scan results. I get such messages in the system tray. So, I need some help as soon as possible.

I suggest you to format the system to get rid of Win32/PCAntispyware2010.A. This infection is a trojan and its files seem to be legible from outside. It is internally that they work as a malicious content. hence, it is very difficult to detect such infections. If you keep such infections persisting in the computer, it may also lead to a system crash. So, it is better to format the system and install a new copy of the operating system that you are using.

Inorder to get rid of Win32/PCAntispyware2010.A, I suggest you to install AVG antivirus in your system, since I do not think that Kaspersky is able to delete such infections from the computer. AVG has been recommended by many experts, since it can remove the infections like worms, virus and trojans too. So, after installing this antivirus, a full system scan has to be run and all the infections that are detected during this scan are to be deleted.

Hello there, a safe mode scanning will help to get rid of Win32/PCAntispyware2010.A, since when the system is started in the safe mode, the infections are not able to execute because of which they remain inactive. So, the antivirus finds it easy to remove the infections at this time. You can get the option of going into the safe mode, when you start the computer.

Use an anti-spyware to get rid of Win32/PCAntispyware2010.A. Spyware Doctor is a recommended anti-spyware. So, when you install this in the system, it will stay in the background and check for the malicious activities that are going on within the system. When the applications and programs are found that are causing such problems, they are removed from the computer.
