You have a security problem Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have an issue with my PC (Windows XP), I have a popup that states "You have a security problem" and attempts to sell me new virus protection.

I have McAfee already installed and I have run a scan for a virus but it did not pick up anything.
How do I get rid of this without purchasing more "quote" security software?

Thanks,
D

here, this was happening to me when earlier today, this is the only that actually worked!
(i used the first one)

download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, save it to your desktop.

https://www.besttechie.com/resources/malwarebytes/

or

https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/malwarebytes_anti_malware.html

Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Then click Finish. MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program
before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
Press the OK button to close that box and continue.

On the Scanner tab:
Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected. Then click on the Scan button.
The next screen will ask you to select the drives to scan. Leave all the drives selected
and click on the Start Scan button. The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the
top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient. When the scan is finished, a message
box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process. Back at the main Scanner
screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found. Make sure
that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. When removal is completed, a log report
will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below) The log
is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Solution from Search-and-destroy.
If you own a computer, you must have antispyware to keep it running at its best. The problem is choosing a scan that works. I have tried many different types of scans in the past and then I ran across Search-and-destroy Antispyware. I have to say that the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is the best that I have used to date. It gets the job done and keeps my computer working like new. If you are interested in seeing for yourself just how good this antispyware works you can click on https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=search-and-destroy&e=com to learn more. I'm sure it would be worth your time to check it out.

MEGAERA · Answer

it's called "ROGUE SECURITY".  Even KASPERSKEY can't detect that program. All you need is "MALWAREBYTES".  I can send you a CRACKED MALWAREBYTES if you want to.

solace · Answer

I used the below suggestion from Mike (ctr, alt, del)...It immediately removed all signs of the System Security pop-up, etc.  Thank you Mike.

MIKE WROTE:
So I was pretty worried to download katies Options considering it was my open stance on downloading that gave me the Security System problem to begin with. So I tried the prior comment about going to Ctrl+Alt+Del and going to the Processes tab. There I found a long list of things things and systems I know very little about. I took my time looked around and realized there was one "process" that created a spike in CPU usage when the Pop-up was "shaken" when i used the arrow to drag the window around the page. The Image Name was just a bunch of numbers and maybe some letters followed buy .exe as all the Processes are. It had my name or Computer name as the User Name. I took time to see if it was truly the problem and took a deep breath and selected the End Process button. At that moment both the pop-up and the logo on the computer disappeared. 

My best advice is to be careful and take your time with finding the solution. i do not know if Katies idea actually worked because I didn't have to use it. But it seemed like it had positive responses.

After staying up until 3am and wasting $50 on Spyware that did not remove System Security- I was determined to get rid of it. The virus would not let me run  malware removal so I had to find a program that it would let me run. 
1. https://www.winpatrol.com/        <-----------Go here
2. Download WinPatrol Free Edition
3. After running program-it will show you what programs will automaticly start on you're computer. Sysssstem security will be there and and something right below it that goes with it. Remove them both by highlighing and clicking REMOVE--
It should be gone!!!!!!!!!
Double check by going to Task Manager (CNTRL+ALT+DELETE) under process tab      and making sure there are no files like
systemsecurity.exe 
or
a bunch of numbers+ .exe - make sure numbers are not for something else-they shouldnt be-but make sure
Delete these files if they are there.Enjoy your new life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
your welcome!
