   Personally, I think the best way to deal with any malware or virus is to use the services offered by one of the many free computer support forums.

   Follow the instructions in the link below and a trained analyst will check your logs, help you sort it out for free and give you advice on keeping your computer clean in the future
   If you cannot complete any of the steps, let the analyst know and he will advise you what to do next.

   You have a Rogue Antivirus.
   To defeat the infection, you should download Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Essentials and

   Sysinternals Autoruns.
   Malwarebytes – http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/malwarebytes-anti-malware
   Microsoft Security Essentials – http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
   Autoruns – http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

   Unzip the Autoruns file and copy out only the autoruns.exe file. Rename the autoruns.exe (I usually

   name it autorunt.exe)

   Put Autoruns and Malwarebytes on a USB drive and reboot into safe mode using F8.

   Install Malwarebytes and run a quick scan.
   If Malwarebytes cleans everything then you should be fine and you can ignore Autoruns file.
   If Malwarebytes wont install or wont launch then run Autoruns (which should be renamed).

   How to use Autoruns:
   • Run As Administrator
   • Select Options and check “Verify” and “Hide Microsoft and Windows Entries”
   • F5 to refresh
   • Look at the “Logon”, “Explorer”, “Internet Explorer” and "Image Hijacks" tabs
   • UNCHECK anything you don’t recognize. Remember, UNCHECK can always be RECHECKED… DELETE is

   irreversible
   • UNCHECK EVERYTHING found on the "Image Hijacks" tab. This is where the malware puts entries to stop

   you from launching cleaning tools. (this is why I had you rename autoruns)
   • Reboot into Safe Mode using F8

   Now try to run Malwarebytes again… it should run fine now.
   You may want to rerun Autoruns and put checkmarks back in the entries which were NOT removed by

   Malwarebytes. Chances are they are not the infection and are necessary for the system to function

   better.

   Install Microsoft Security Essentials for continued protection

   Yes, using restore is great if you have set a restore point within the past year or so. If not, you may erase 5 years of updates. Use it as a 2nd to last resort. Your last resort will be restoring your computer completely with the original disks which would erase all the files you had and be lost forever.

   Have you tried http://www.malwarebytes.org for a free download or spydoctor? Both work great, but spydoctor slows your pc down too much to run as real time protection. malwarebytes is a scanner only, at least the free version.

   Reboot into Safe Mode with Networking. To get to Safe Mode restart the computer, and as soon as the computer starts, begin to tap the F8 key until the boot menu appears. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select Safe mode, and then press Enter. If prompted, log on as administrator.

   Run System Restore (hopefully the malware hasn’t deleted the saved restore points)
   Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
   Restore back to a date before you noticed the problem.

   Then reboot back into Safe Mode with Networking. Install, update, scan and clean with anti-malware programs like Malwarebytes AntiMalware (http://www.malwarebytes.org) & SuperAntiSpyware from http://www.superantispyware.com/.

   You may want to reconsider the AV that you use.
   For a free AV you can try Avast, Avira, or MS Security Essentials. Free AVG won’t protect you as well as the other free options.

   I HAD THAT ONEEEE!! it was sooo annoying. You can’t do like anything on your computer!!
   The internet gave me all these complicated ideas to fix it, but what worked for me was to go to a restore point. In Control Panel go to System Restore, and pick a date from there that is before you got this virus. I just picked one like a week before I noticed the virus. Don’t worry, it doesn’t delete any files you saved. Good luck!!
