Used Malwarebytes to remove XP Security Center 2008 & 2009 one computer was mildly infected and cleaned two others were so infected that removed over 1100 threats and another with 496 threats crippled them so bad that I had to do a CD Repair & reload all the programs. This is one of the worse programs I have ever seen & would like to see their ba!!s removed, jja
If your system crashes when running Malwarebytes, then boot in safe mode then run. Malwarebytes & Smitfraud are the only two scaner that I know that will rub in safe mode. After cleaning then boot up and run scan to get rid of the rest of it, jja
One of the problems I had with this infection was that it had hijacked my browser and was not letting me access any virus/malware sites nor would it let me run any of my installed programmes. I managed to run it from a storage pen on a usb drive and it seems to have rid the machine of it at last.
Horrible thing.
anyone have any issues with malware crashing while trying to remove this xp anitspyware, with mbam.exe, i can’t seem to get all the way through a scan before this decides to give me box not responding and send or don’t send report, either option i take nothing happens, stays in unrepsonsive mode. then preceeds to give me dr.watson postmortem debugger.

I ran the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program and caught lots of malware apparently related to “AntivirusPro2009.” I still see AntivirusPro2009 in my system configuration utility box under startup though. I don’t have it checked so it isn’t loading…..or am I wrong?
Before I ran the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program I found a related malware called “brastk.” However this has been removed from by startup but I don’t know if it is still active as it seems to be a really bad infection.
Thanks for any insight.
othing else worked for me but this…….
I already had Comodo installed so I enabled the Paranoid settings after adding Malware Bytes, F-Secure, and Avira to the trusted section.
Malware Bytes will only leave behind the Prefetch, Cache, and brastk.exe SO use F-Secure right afterwards instead of letting Malware Bytes try removing it on reboot. Clear your cache, delete everything in the prefetch folder, and disconnect your internet. Use the registry editor to find any reference to karna.dat and braskt.exe and delete those entries. Now, F-Secure will find your rootkit (brastk), and rename it before loading XP. You may see a weird screen blip occur, then XP will load. After it reloads, immediately clear your cache, run MB again and then reboot one last time. You’re clean as a whistle baby!
I know MW Bytes would fix this, but I can’t get it to run in normal mode or safe mode, even after changing the name of the .exe file. I’ve manually removed both of the .dat files, but I still have a lot of problems. :(
thanks for the mw bytes download worked perfect, nothing else worked against anti v 2009 on my system but this was great cheers dino

my computer virus remove
dear exel support,
please stop all tasks that are running under your user.
remove ikowin32.exe from your autostart.
stop tasks like “9129837.exe” and strange names like that
in the end you should have no programm running!
no virus scanner, no game software nothing!°
just windows itself
than you can install Malwarebytes and run a full scan!
if I hadnt killed these taks the scareware program always restartet my computer when it recognized that a antivirus prog was running…
And Warning these Program changes its Name
to me its known as “Security Tool”
