    After purchasing Desktop Security 2010 this antimalware doctor appeared on the same computer. The problems it has caused with this computer is extremely frustrating!! How could it attach to this computer if the Desktop Security 2010 has been activated?

    Penny,
    You see, rogue antivirus applications are usually activated on PCs by trojans – tiny malicious things that infiltrate computers without users’ awareness.
    I guess, in your case the trojans remained even after you purchased the Desktop Security 2010 scam.
    The hackers must be smart enough to assume that if someone purchased one of their products (i.e. Desktop Security 2010 rogue anti-spyware), he/she is likely to buy another one. So they probably activated the trojans again – but this time, they are promoting a different malware.
    Our advise is – get your system cleaned up from the malicious items such as trojans otherwise you will be suffering from such scam over and over.
