Remove PC-Winlive.com browser hijacker
PC-Winlive.com is another brainwasher site that advertises the fake virus remover called XP Antispyware 2010. Actually, if you simply visit PC-Winlive.com you see that it’s about the program called Windows Defender 2010; but the truth is that there exists no such software. Windows Defender 2010 is a general denomination for a group of rogue security tools, XP Antispyware 2010 being one of them. PC-Winlive.com is the URL you hit in case the above-mentioned rogueware installs onto your machine without your permission (which is precisely how it tends to act). Clicking on some ads XP Antispyware 2010 automatically triggers a browser redirect to PC-Winlive.com where you will be suggested to get yourself a licensed copy of this product. It goes without saying that one must refrain from doing what PC-Winlive.com recommends. It’s a hijacker site and it promotes an application which is bad in every way. That’s why we recommend anyone attacked by this malware to remove it using our further instructions.
