How to remove Vista Internet Security 2010 rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
There has appeared a new rogue antivirus threat lately denominated Vista Internet Security 2010. It is mendacious fraudware that needs disinfecting if it finds itself on your workstation. Vista Internet Security 2010 propagation is based on exploiting trojan-related tactics and blackhat SEO methods. Taking this into account, we can state that one is not likely to notice the intrusion of this disgusting malware which initially comes as unregistered version. After a short while of adapting the system parameters to its malignant plan, Vista Internet Security 2010 commences issuing falsified warning messages such as the one shown below. This practice is being applied just to attract your attention to the purported (and doubtful) fact that your computer needs urgent security help since it’s infected with ‘critical system objects’. No need to make separate accent that these alerts are not true and they in no way reflect the status of your system for real. Vista Internet Security 2010 will not stop there just displaying fake warning messages like that. It will get configured to run once Windows Vista loads; right upon system boot/reboot, Vista Internet Security 2010 will generate its scanners that are just the same scam as the notifications we mentioned above. The report of each such scan will recommend you to click the button leading to Vista Internet Security 2010 registration page. It’s certainly not free to register this software so you will be ‘kindly’ asked to enter your credit card details and submit the required payment. In fact, Vista Internet Security 2010 can only help you remove the imaginary infections which are not there. It is not able to spot or remove actual PC parasites, which makes this software totally worthless. Along with being no use, Vista Internet Security 2010 is dangerous because it stuffs up the system with unwanted executables rendering your computer slow. The application we described is not safe and must be expelled from your system.
