THAT happened to me, If it starts out with a fake scanning you should’ve known it was coming. The first time I was naive, but the second I was smart enough to close my computer immediatley and scan it. Well I tried getting rid of it and since I was to lazy I did system recovory.
Hi,
There is just a chance that a windows repair using the windows install disk might work.
What is the actual name of the program that is causing the problem?
Unfortunately you may have to reformat and perform a windows re-install.8-((

i did that and it cost me £50

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS ROGUE SECURITY PROGRAM?
Programs such as Personal Antivirus, Anivirus System Pro, XP Deluxe Protector, WinBlueSoft, Antivirus Pro 2009, AntivirusBEST, and many more are actually rogue (fake and malware) security programs and if you run them will even infect your computer even more. Read here to learn more about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_software . Also read this spyware removal guide: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/spyware-removal-guide.htm .
First back up your important files and documents in case anything goes wrong during the removal process. You will need to scan your backups later before putting them back on your computer. For the same reason create a system restore point. Yes this restore point might be infected but it is better to have that go back to then not being able to undo things if the cleanup affects your computer. You can always scan again. Once the computer is clean and working properly, we will get rid of the potentially bad restore points.
The pop-ups you get from this type of program are a sign your computer is already infected. There are literally hundreds of these rogue programs out that are plaguing so many people. The free program, not necessary to purchase the pro version, Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (MBAM), is very good at detecting and removing rogue security programs. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Now some of these rogue programs are very tricky and will make it so you cannot run your security programs or will not let you download and install them. Here is a link that will explain how to get around this with MBAM and be successful downloading, installing, and running the program: http://www.myantispyware.com/2009/06/08/malwarebytes-wont-install-run-or-update-how-to-fix-it/
Once you are successful at downloading, installing, and updating MBAM you can then follow these directions: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-personal-antivirus . Please note these instructions are for PersonalAntivirus, one of the rogue programs, but the instructions are very similar for getting rid of any rogue program.
Also it would be a good idea after running the quick scan, and rebooting to run a full system scan. I have also seen it suggested to run MBAM in safe mode. You can also try this other free program called SUPERAntiSpyware that can be found here: http://www.superantispyware.com/ .
Once your computer is clean and working normally just to be on the safe side turn off system restore and wait 30 seconds, turn it back on and create a new restore point. This way it gets rid of anything bad that might have gotten saved in a restore point and you have a clean restore point to use in the near future if needed.
Here is an excellent article to learn how to be safe on the internet, http://surfthenetsafely.com/index.html . It covers everything from viruses, spyware, and firewalls in great detail. The links in it that do not work right are pointing to this website http://www.techsupportalert.com/pc/security-tools.html . This website was reorganized so old links do not always work so just use the one I just gave and then choose the category of security programs they are discussing.
I would really like to hear how these steps worked for you or how else you were able to get rid of the rogue security program. You can email me via my Yahoo Answers Profile or email me at my_mailbox08@yahoo.com. Thanks.
use another computer to download avira.com avira antivir rescue system and burn it to cd then put that to work…go to Avira.com click downloads skroal down to the bottom of the page choose tools then choose avira antivir rescue system
Hmmm you might have a problem if you cant enter task manager…Try opening Internet Explore, type c:/ in the adressfield, enter windows, System 32, and locate Taskmgr.
Still unable to enter task manager? reformate your computer.
Guide:
1. Ctrl+Alt+Del
2. Enter Task Manager/Joblist, and find Processes.
3. End SystemSecurity.exe or [random numbers].exe
It may show a warning when ending it, but just click yes and ignore it.
Now you should be able to install Ccleaner, and remove it from your system.
Search Ccleaner & download
