Security product are notoriously hard to uninstall, this one might be different but why risk it when there free products that do just as good a job. I do trial programs but use Zsoft Uninstaller so everthing is gone at the end.0

I would remove / copy all files, pictures that you want then go with a format the harddrive with a fresh install.
Then on another machine download the SP updates as required and copy them across before using the internet.
These days i have copies of all the software i use on disks, so that i can reformat and be back to normal bar a few settings / updates in a few hours.0 -

It warns me that it probably wont work properly, should I continue with it regardless?
Reboot and go into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING (Keep pressing F8 at boot up)
Download a fresh copy of combofix and RENAME it to something random (fn8734hter.exe)
Run it then:idea:0 -
Have done that and still the same says it detects that the 2 antivirus programmes are running!
It warns that it could be harmful to continue, so I'm hesitant to!0 -
