I stupidly allowed IObit to enter my P.C.it brought with it Desktop Security 2010. everyfew minutes I received 3 intruders that insisted in broken , misspelt English in my signing on to remove imaginary faults , ( other than themselves.) I went to Add Remove programs on Control Panel, managed to remove IObit O.K. but....Desk'Security will not remove,have tried many times.has anybody any suggestions please

Have had some luck, whilst playing Dry Cell.( which I play to warm up P.C.)when interupted by Security Center Alert, ( one of the 3 intruders.) I found that I could drag it to the Right Hand side of my screen, this stopped any more interuptions, I would like to remove DS2010 if poss, & also remove their icons from my favourites & Start up menus. DS has also hidden its file.thank you for this site, Terry.
