Amazing. I’ve spent the last two days trying every way to get rid of this “Personal Security” garbage, including subscribing to PC Tools Spyware Doctor (not much help) and it looks like your method worked. Following your instructions I did find one more file missed by MalwareBytes but it was just and exe file which I promptly deleted to cure the problem 100%, at least it appears. Thank you so much. Your contribution is a genuine life saver and if there is anything I can do in return, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Mike, ask for help in our Spyware removal forum.

Very useful. I had a problem with malware defense but by following these instructions most of the malware files seem to have disappeared. I’m still a little worried if something might have slipped through but for the most part my computer seems to be working fine. For now I’m full scanning just in case.
Thanks :>
I’ve just spent the best part of two days trying to get rid of this “Personal Security” nightmare, and eventually managed with Avenger. Thanks .. you saved me a lot of headaches and problems. Keep up the good work
Internet Security 2010 is a nasty piece of software which is difficult to remove as it disables many functions including Task Manager, regedit, command prompt. Malwarebytes removes it perfectly and saves a lot of work. I’d highly recommend it. Thanks.
unfortunately internet security 2010 got installed in my computer when i just opened a gift file that came in my junk mail,and all work got struck and every time it was prompting to buy the software.
but with this My anti spyware i was able to remove,just got DELIGHTED
MANY THANKS
