You might try restarting in safe mode (tap F8 repeatedly as it's starting up) and running a Malwarebytes' scan then.0

Thanks, do you think that will work as each time I reboot I lose my internet connections and I have trouble reconnecting (only since I got this system security thing!)
I can't see how I can get rid of it as it's not showing up in any of my programs and the icon itself has no uninstall option?If at first you don't succeed ........Alternative autism therapies should be free!!

Restarting in safe mode should restrict what starts up with Windows. If System Security isn't running, it should be a lot easier to remove.0

Okay, I have tried 3 times to start my PC in safe mode but it won't let me. Each time I get the message "use the up and down arrows to highlight mode" the arrows won't move highlight bar away from "start windows normally". But the arrows work any other time.
I really can't see how I'm gonna get rid of it.
Any help appreciated.If at first you don't succeed ........Alternative autism therapies should be free!!

You probably have a USB keyboard? They tend to NOT work when trying to enter 'safe mode'
Download SUPERANTISPYWARE (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Then do a fresh hijack log (Or if SAS wont run, run a hijack log anyways):idea:0
