    Malwarebytes' will remove it.
  • lets see what MalwareBytes does first - I am confident that it should remove a lot of the crud.
  • Click here to download HJTInstall.exe
    • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
    • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
    • Click on Install.
    • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
    • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
    • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
    • DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
    • DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

    Hi

    Have just run the updated Malware and it found 6 infected objects, went through the removal process and got the message that it could not remove all objects and PC needed rebooting to complete cleaning process. Have rebooted and as soon as PC came back on, up popped the security system warnings. I still have both icons for system security (shortcut icon on desktop and icon on bottom right hand of screen)?? Help!!!

  • Download and run the hijack this and post the resultant log.

    Can you also post the Malwarebytes log.
  • Are you running Spybot by chance? with TeaTimer enabled?

    If so follow these instructions to stop it and run another scan with Malwarebytes;

    We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:

    1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
    2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
    3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
    4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
    5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
    6. Restart your computer.

    Download ResetTeaTimer.bat to the Desktop
    ResetTeaTimer.bat
    Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer (and preventing TeaTimer to restore them upon reactivation).

    Hope I've done this right.
