Remove rogue security

[Guest carolb4]

My computer has become infected by a rogue system, System Security. I do not

know how to get rid of it. I tried a google search and was instructed to

purchase Spyhunter. I started the process and SpyBot indicated that

Spyhunter was corrupt.

 

I don't know who to trust. Help!

Start with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe

 

It is free and very trusted.

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"

because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

 

Look for specific removal steps here:

 

Bleeping Computer removal how-to's -

or here - Malwarebytes malware removal guides - http://tinyurl.com/5xrpft

 

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the

computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected

by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

 

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the

specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of

Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or

how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer

professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of

places.
