IT IS the problem. You cannot run anything that will work, because this Rougue security thing, blocks everything from running.

This site, is a great help....

It teaches you how to manually remove. Also, search Utube. People who actually show you step by step, via video, how to remove this crap.

Good luck.

@ Ray C although this malware is hard to remove at times, there is no need to direct folks to unknown sites for removal instructions. We have self help guides loacted RIGHT HERE

We also provide free help in our Malware Removal - HijackThis Logs section where they can have Trained Experts provide them with step by step instructions for removing any malware from their computers.
