My computer got infected by one of those fake security systems. Now I can't even run my real anti-virus systems like NOD32 because of that.
Shiiit.

[Huesoo]

And? Are you asking for help of somekind? What to do?

[Duke 2.0]

Google the program dude. Somebody out there has figured out how to get around it. Then head into safe mode and pick it apart, file by file, registry item by registry item.

[Phantom]

Fucking Security Suite Pro, I had it before.
*sigh.*
Looks like there's a way but it's gonna take some time.

As long as you can End Task it shouldn't be able to block your real Anti-Virus. Just look for a program running out of place, and run your real anti-virus. You could also tear apart its uninstaller data so that you can force it to delete itself.

[Cthulhu]

Get rkill.exe or eXplorer.exe from a different computer and run it via flash drive.  It'll kill the virus process and tell you where it was located.  Then just navigate to it and delete it yourself and follow with a virus scan.

You could always move on and start using some distribution of Linux. And then you could sit in your high computer tower, laughing at the Windows peasants far below while you try to figure out how to actually use Linux.

Some day, I will learn how to use Linux.

[MonkeyHead]

also, avoid porn.

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

Malware Bytes Anti-Malware will kill it.  Every year a new version of that virus comes out, and every year Malware finds the way to kill it, within days.l

[Medicine Man]

Won't that conflict with his VS that he already has?

Oh if all else fails, use magma! Or at least reformat.

[Cthulhu]

I already told you what to do.  Malwarebytes won't work because it'll kill the process before it starts.

You could always move on and start using some distribution of Linux. And then you could sit in your high computer tower, laughing at the Windows peasants far below while you try to figure out how to actually use Linux.

Some day, I will learn how to use Linux.

Some day I will learn how to build a virus like OSF.8759, just to show all those linux fanatics that their system is just as vulnerable as any other

[eerr]

probably moreso.

*sigh*

Get Avast! on a thumb drive.

Boot in safe mode. If you don't know how, hit random function keys during boot until you figure it out.

Install Avast!

Run Avast! boot-time scanner.

Kill anything that moves.

it'll kill the process before it starts.

You can boot it into safe mode, and regedit the startup programs to stop it from starting when you boot the computer.

Safemode
Malware Bytes Anti Malware and Avast (both catch the same kind of generic virus/trojan stuff)
Spybot Search and Destroy (specifically made for scamware/spyware like a fake security program)
Install and learn how to use noscript and adblock (Firefox)
Use some anti-rootkit tools like Microsoft's Rootkit Revealer and the Sophos rootkit remover
Last resort: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

I've had one of these before and it slipped in a rootkit. Kept reinstalling every week even though I had it offline. Combofix removed the rootkit.
