    Too late…you’re infected with a smitfraud.You’ll need to go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and go to the Uninstall List,find that program and follow the uninstall direction. Don’t try to restore your PC to a time before this happened,it will only make it worse.

    I wrote this to another poster but it all still applies to you.

    She has what is known as a smitfraud(a rogue security program).She’ll need to go to CNET at http://www.download.com and install the free version of Malwarebytes’Anti-Malware and then update the signatures.After that ,go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and look in the Uninstall List for this program (she’ll need to know exactly what the name of the program is;obviously she doesn’t or is not paying attention)and get the instruction for removal. sometimes they might ask you to install ComboFix or SmitFraudFix but Malwarebytes’ should do it. DO NOT restore the PC to an earlier time;that only makes it worse.

    I’m not sure how she’s attempting to get into safe mode,but the PC must be completely off.Then you hold down (don’t tap)key F8 (not F and 8 but F8) and restart the PC and work your way into safe mode from there.

    After the PC is in safe mode,open Malwarebytes’ and do a complete scan.If it finds anything,move these to quarantine and then delete them.If you don’t move them into quarantine and you just delete them,they will reinstall themselves.

    If she has CCleaner,run that to clean out any junk left behind.Then restart the PC normally.

    When you surf the net unprotected,this is what you get:viruses,trojans,malware,spyware,smit… a bunch of other crap.To protect your PC you’ll need several pieces of security software programs.The ones listed below are free and many out perform some paid security suites:
    1 a firewall (install only one)
    2 an anti-virus (install only one)
    3 an anti-spyware/malware (install two or three)
    4 a secure browser
    5 a disk cleaner (deletes temporary files,cookies,etcGet one or two)

    Free firewalls:
    Comodo Internet Security (just the firewall and not the anti-virus,unless you want the full program)
    ZoneAlarm
    PC Tools Firewall Plus
    Outpost
    Online Armor

    Free anti-virus:
    avast! Home Edition 4.8
    Avira AntiVir Personal 9
    AVG 9 (use Threatfire with this program to increase your level od detection)
    Panda Cloud Anti-Virus
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    Free anti-spyware/malware:
    Ad-Aware
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    Windows Defender
    SUPERAnti-Spyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Spyware Terminator
    SpywareBlaster

    Browser:
    Firefox and load it up with McAfee Site Advisor,AVG Link Scanner,or W.O.T.(Web of Trust).Also get BetteryPrivacy,Ghostery, TACO (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out),KeyScrammbler.Set Firefox to delete cookies when you close the browser (Tools,Options,Privacy,Cookies).NoScript is also available for Firefox. If you get AVG as your anti-virus,there is no need to get the AVG Link Scanner because it is included in the program.

    These are free for personal use and you can download them at CNET http://www.download.com
    Some add-ons for the Firefox browser are available at http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

    Disk cleaner and defrag utilities:
    CCleaner ,Glary Utilities,and Advanced SystemCare ; all free
    Get it at CNET http://www.download.com
    Also get Smart Defrag and run that in Deep Optimize mode

    clean and defrag for a fast unclogged OS

    Get on another computer and download Malwarebytes from this website

    http://www.malwarebytes.org

    and save it to a thumb drive. Rename it from mbam-setup.exe to something else like ie.exe, then reboot your infected PC into safe mode by pressing F8 while your computer is starting up. Once you get into safe mode, plug in the usb drive and run the ie.exe file to install Malwarebytes and run a full scan on drive C:. it will take some time, like maybe an hour or more depending on your PC, then just click the button to Remove Threats. Reboot and you should be good.

    Your infected with a fake av.
    -it jams ur AVG.

    & will try to make you buy a service that doesn’t exist.

    Boot into safemode with networking (F7/F8 at startup)

    then go to download.com and install malwarebytes & Spybot Search & Destroy.
    Update – Full scan – Fix Problem

    Cant be run? Combofix first.

    Note: if you don’t have Safemode with networking, then you have two other options:
    -Go into normal safemode, and transfer the programs through USB from another pc.
    -startup normal. Start – Run – taskmgr.exe – processes – close some of the obvious unwanted things. Until you can get online and do the things above.

    Feel free to contact me regarding any trouble you may have~

    Use combofix from bleepingcomputer.com, then go download malwarebytes from softpedia.com or cnet.com and use it(rename the installer if it doesn’t let you install it such as winlogon.exe), then clean the rest of the virus with superantispyware and Hitman Pro 3.5 from softpedia.com/cnet.com

    Future Protection use this wizard to recommend security protection for your system:

    or go to safe mode and then do the above:

    To get into Safe Mode with Networking:

    1. Log out and reboot your machine.
    2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
    3. Select Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.

    Or Manually:

    Terminating the process:

    1.I verify that a Rogue is present. This isn’t hard, since it’s usually popping up just about every few seconds.
    2.Click CTRL-ALT-DELETE (if it’s available)
    3.Click Task Manager
    4.Click Processes
    5.Find a process that usually contain all numbers. For example 2342342.exe. If you do not see all numbers then your rogue has a name like…SystemSecurityPro.exe or GreenAV.exe…etc.
    6.Select that process and click end process.
    7.At this point the rogue process has been terminated.
    Removing Rogue Anti-virus that is named with random numbers.

    1.Click Start
    2.Click Run (or for Vista type in the start search box)
    3.For windows xp type: C:\documents and settings\all users\Application Data and click OK. A window will open containing a folder with about 8 numbers. Your Rogue is in there. Delete that folder.
    4.For Windows Vista type C:\users\all users in the "start search" box and click enter. Your randomly named folder with about 8 digits should be in there. Delete it.
    Removing Rogue Anti-Virus that has a name like System Guard Pro, AV2010, etc

    1.Open Windows Explorer.
    2.Open your C:\ drive.
    3.Open Program Files
    4.Find the Rogue and Delete the folder.

    If not seek an expert. Good Luck!

    You just asked the question for twice.

    • Windows PC comes with a great tool called Windows Defender that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software by detecting and removing known spyware from your computer. You can do a scan now to see if there is any spyware on your computer by doing the following:
    ·         Click Start
    ·         In ‘Start Search’ type Windows Defender
    ·         Simply Press Enter, or click Windows Defender
    ·         Once the Windows Defender window opens, click the drop down arrow next to scan.
    ·         From there you can choose “Quick Scan, Full Scan, or Custom Scan…”
    ·         Once Windows Defender completes the scan, it will report to you any malicious software a.k.a. malware that if found and report to you the actions that it took to deal with it/them.
    You can also setup for Windows Defender to do scans on a scheduled basis. To do this, follow the steps below:
    ·         Get to the Windows Defender windows like in the previous steps.
    ·         Click Tools located at the top
    ·         You will see two main categories “Settings” and “Tools” with subcategories beneath them.
    ·         Click on “Options” located under “Settings”.
    ·         Once in the window for Options choose your desired settings for your scheduled scans with Windows Defender.
    I’ve attached a link below that has some other options provided by Microsoft for keeping your computer safe from malware:

    I hope you find this information helpful and successful in keeping malware of off your computer. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask.
