Got Internet Security Deluxe 2011? Then You've Got Problems

Rogue security programs like Internet Security Deluxe 2011 are often installed by Trojans, but can also be picked up by downloading codec updates and other seemingly legitimate files that aren't secure, or by going to a hostile website that uses Flash or JavaScript-based download exploits. How Internet Security Deluxe 2011 got on your computer doesn't matter as much as knowing what it does to the system now that it's there:

  • Internet Security Deluxe 2011 may place entries in the Windows Registry to hook Internet Security Deluxe 2011 with your regular startup routine. Even if you don't see Internet Security Deluxe 2011 running, Internet Security Deluxe 2011 may still be running, unless you take deliberate steps to stop this process like resorting to a Safe Mode boot.
  • You may see a lot of system scans from Internet Security Deluxe 2011 that pick up various infections that other scanners don't catch. This is because Internet Security Deluxe 2011 is actually making up the infections, either by creating trash files or by telling you that uninfected files are corrupted.
  • Your computer-using life with Internet Security Deluxe 2011 around will likely devolve into trying to ignore system error pop-ups. All errors, warnings and other messages delivered by Internet Security Deluxe 2011 may look similar to real Windows messages, but they're actually fake.
  • In some cases, Internet Security Deluxe 2011 may also crash security programs and Windows maintenance tools that could detect or remove malware. A common rogue security program trick is to use fake errors about memory process or application infection to disguise this - don't be fooled by Internet Security Deluxe 2011's condescending ploys.
  • Internet Security Deluxe 2011 has been reported to hijack web browsers to force the user to visit the threat's website. These hijacks may or may not be hidden inside search results or fake error messages that block legitimate sites.

Take Control of Your PC Back from Internet Security Deluxe 2011

Victims of fraud perpetrated by Internet Security Deluxe 2011 should speak with their credit card companies to get charges revoked. Removing Internet Security Deluxe 2011 should be done with as much thoroughness as possible, since the chances of a related infection being on your PC as well are high. Remember that visiting Internet Security Deluxe 2011's website, even unintentionally, exposes your computer to other potential malware downloads that need to be accounted for when scanning your system.

Never leave any malware running when trying to delete Internet Security Deluxe 2011 or other malicious software. Still-running malware usually will stop you from completely deleting hostile programs, even if you use a perfectly good anti-malware product. Rebooting into Safe Mode will stop all but the most advanced PC threats, and should allow you to rid yourself of Internet Security Deluxe 2011 without interruptions.
