    My sister's computer is infected with AntiVirus 2010. I downloaded the SpyHunter software as you recommended. It removed 2 files marked AV2010. But the software is still on her computer. I don't want to mess with her computer and risk damaging it, that is why I chose to pay for the software. What more can I do?

    Thanks for this I was wondering what the hell the little pop up was Antivirsu 2010 but since I run my scan every other day and have my comp. set to do updates on it its when they appear, this seemed majorly suspcious. Your site saved me alot of time and searching. I passed the site link of yours on to my friends b/c they to have seen the same pop-up. Please keep up the great time and money saving work.

    My computer was attacked by this virus and will not open windows. it only opens the dos screen where it gives the choice to start windows normally, choose last known good configuration or safe mode. It won't go any farther, do you have any suggestions on how to bring computer back up?

    Fell for the bogus ANTIVIRUS 2010 scam 24Feb10. Could not access Internet without making online purchase using my credit card info. 24-hours later, ANTIVIRUS 2010 icon disappeared from screen bottom bar. Have had McAfee running on computer for years. It did not detect the ANTIVIRUS 2010 threat. Contacted my credit card immediately. WORLDWIDESOFT.com's $69. charge for ANTIVIRUS 2010 is still pending. I cancelled my credit card and have been issued a new one. Credit card company noted in my file that card had been cancelled due to fraud threat. When WORLDWIDESOFT.com attempts to collect their $69 fee for ANTIVIRUS 2010, credit card company will refuse payment. I'm contacting McAfee today to ask them why the %$#& their software didn't catch ANTIVIRUS 2010. Grrrrr...
