Hallo Hemeli, i have done a lot of research on this Internet Security 2010 over the past week and all of it points to Malwarebytes is the app. to remove it but the problem being that this infection blocks Malwarebytes from running (which i now know how to rectify)
Yet in your case Malwarebytes ran but did not detect anything (can you confirm that you updated mbam before you run the scan)
What other Anti virus/malware scanners do you have?
I will have another look around tonight and see if i can find any other cases like yours.
You might want to try Superantispyware and see if it does anything with it in the mean time;

How did you ever get tricked into having vista internet security 2010 on your computer anyway? Its hard to believe anyone fell for that scam.

rhlhamlet, not all rogue installs are by trickery. Many are a result of drive-by installs.

Hemeli, make sure that you have the most recent 3rd party software installed.
Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash and Adobe Air have each been updated due to vulnerabilities.
Oracle SunJava is also problematic if you have old versions installed. The most current is JRE6u18.
To check if your system is missing security updates or has insecure applications installed, visit OSI - Consumer - Products . The Secunia Software Inspector runs through your browser with no installation or download required and does the following:
