Hello Deb Jean,

You are the victim of a rogue virus which is spreading and it is a scam to get to your bank account. It has made hundreds of victims.

It may create further damage to your system including the lost of you internet connection.

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

(The renaming of the files is to outwit the virus)

Please follow these instructions:

We must first end the security tool process:

1. 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. (To rename, click right on the icon and left on rename. Just type the new name)

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.

5. In case it got corrupted, please delete the Malwarebyte application you have.

6. Re download MalwareBytes anti-malware:

7. 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.

Please tell us if you succeeded for we like happy endings.

Best regards
