Albourneboy Posted August 6, 2011 ID:462610 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just used Malwarebytes to remove Personal Shield Pro from a friends computer (Windows XP)and it worked a treat. Many thanks, I have one very happy friend now I would like to add though that the installation instructions could do with amending slightly as even renaming the setup file to explorer.exe as recommended didn't work as the piece of c@@p that is PSP blocked another file in the setup process (mbam.tmp)so had to install Malwarebytes in safe mode.Once installed, I rebooted back into normal mode, changed the .exe file name to explorer.exe as per the instructions and everything worked as advertised from then on. :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudbilly Posted August 8, 2011 ID:463345 Share Posted August 8, 2011 i'd like to second that thanks.............i had used the free malwarebyts a couple months ago to rid my computer of something else,,,, so when i got infectd with the "personal shield pro" malware last night, malwarebytes was my first choice. i also figured, that for the minimal cost involved, i would just pony up the $$ and buy the full version.....thanks again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehirtens Posted November 13, 2011 ID:494378 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Didn't want to start a new thread, but wanted to thank you guys/gals for all you do here. Just eradicated "AV Security 2012" from my husband's PC using MB and it worked like a charm. Found some other crud too -- now gone. I think we'll pony up for the paid version for his PC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgabbard Posted November 16, 2011 ID:495374 Share Posted November 16, 2011 MBAM has saved my butt plenty of times!Mine too! I started out as a free home user, then talked my boss into getting a corporate license for the office, and now I have purchased it for me and my family. I also recommend to everybody and I tell them to spend the money and go pro it's worth it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaintree16 Posted November 17, 2011 ID:495656 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Malwarebytes is quite amazing, and it has definitely saved a few computers that I have worked on for family and friends. I have the PRO version combined with a good AV & a hosts file on my computer, and I haven't gotten infected for quite some time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
