Got Scareware? This week, manual removal steps for two of the more prevalent families of scareware. Plus, how to avoid Koobface and other social networking worms and guard your Internet identity to avoid being targeted.

How to Remove Vista Internet Security 2010
Vista Internet Security 2010 is scareware. Vista Internet Security 2010 hooks the shell open command so that it takes control of any executable loading on the system. This includes the handling of legitimate program files. To remove Vista Internet Security 2010, follow these steps.

How To Remove SecurityTool Scareware
SecurityTool is extremely defensive scareware that can be near impossible to remove automatically. That's because SecurityTool blocks access to Task Manager, the Registry Editor, the Deskop, Safe Mode, and many executable files. You have to somehow disable the main process before any of the traditional scanners are going to work. Here's how.

Four Easy Ways to Avoid Koobface
Koobface is a classic example of a worm that spreads via social networking sites such as Facebook, Bebo, and Friendster. Koobface has been particularly problematic for Facebook users and maintains a rather consistent presence among Facebook social network users. Here are four easy-to-follow tips that can help you avoid infection by Koobface and other social networking worms.
