Security Essentials 2010 is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Internet Security 2010. This rogue is installed by Trojans that pretend to be a Flash update that is required to view online videos. Instead of actually letting you view the video, though, this Trojan will download and install other malware, including Security Essentials 2010. One of the Trojans that will be installed is C:\WINDOWS\system32\smss32.exe that hijacks your desktop with a security warning, shows pop-ups stating that you are infected, and finally installs Security Essentials 2010 on to your computer.
