Antivirus Studio 2010 spyware description and removal procedure

       What is "Antivirus studio 2010" spyware

Antivirus Studio 2010 is a bogus security client that attempts to trick and scare the user into thinking they are infected with a virus.
Upon boot the user is notified that their computer is sending out spam e-mail that that your IP is being reported to the Police. This is ALL a lie. Antivirus Studio 2010 is the real virus and they are simply attempting to scare you into making a purchase. This program will also block all your real security client and most other programs. In testing we were able to get the Browser working just fine but were being re-directed to the FAKE Antivirus Studio 2010 website and instructed to make a purchase.
All the viruses that this program picks up are FAKE and again its used to trick users into making a purchase.
