Hello,
I have been aggresively solicited to download windows sysem security (claiming I have trojans running out my ears) . while I am searching for clipart. I have run my McAfee scan and seeing nothing I have not done it. but it appears from this forum that doing so would be regretable. Correct?

Hello,

Please, it is urgent that you crush this rogue virus before it creates further damage and while you can still connect to Internet.

The evil application is self protective and will prevent running antimalware tools including Hyjackthis which is a rather simple tool.

We must try to outwit the beast while terminating the processes generated by the trojan to better eliminate it

Please follow the instructions hereunder:

Download Process Explorer and save it in C:\ folder.
Download link: http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe

2. Rename procexp.exe to explorer.exe and double-click to run it.

3. Select Security Tool process from the list. Should be 4946550101.exe or similar and press "Delete" button to end the process.

4. Close Process Explorer.
download MalwareBytes anti-malware:

5. Rename mbam-setup.exe to explorer.exe and double-click to run it. Install, update and run MalwareBytes anti-malware. Then perform full computer scan and remove all found infections.

That should do it.

If you need further assistance, please come back.

Please let us know if the above worked for you as we like to read stories with happy endings.

Best regards
