Hi
I seem to have been invaded by " Smart Internet Protection 2011" that has been all over my internet search and computer.
They seem to me like a scam and would appreciate it if anyone knows about them and would advise me on how to get rid of them.
Thanks
C.

You can do online scans at www.trendmicro.com (Housecall) to remove your fake antivirus.

Microsoft's free 'Windows Defender' or 'Microsoft Security Essentials' is good, too.
