Dude,just want to ask how to uninstall the TOTAL SECURITY antivirus as I was also victimized by this antiirus. Kindly send an email to my ID provided above.Always I unsinstall it TOTAL SECURITY window are always prompting and it always back on the scan window.I will wait your reply.Thanks.

I have this on my laptop. I can’t do ANYTHING. Meaning I can’t download anything. What do i do?

There is another way to remove Total Security. Call your antivirus customer service number and tell them this thing is holding your computer hostage-that is what it does. They will unlock this nasty program from your antivirus and it will go away. Then download Malwarebytes, update the signatures and do a comprehensive scan. It will work, believe me.

Since I do this almost week day, I have a registered copy of Activeboot on both a USB Thumb drive and a CD
I also have stand alone scanner installed on these to device and when you do boot of activeBoot you can plug in a usb drive and run stand alone scanners, like Malwarebytes, Clamware or VipreRescue.
I do not have to worry about the Abuse software stopping the AntiMalware from running.
The best thing to do when this piece of spyware 1st popup, is do nothing but, CTRL+ALT+DeL and kill the Browser that is running.
Open up control panel and find the internet setting and in the cache size tab, move the cache folder to someplace like C:\ , this will completely flush the internet cache, I also run Ccleaner after that.
With Ccleaner you can open tools and see if anything new has appeared in the startup list.
If you AntiVirus is up to date, reboot your machine and run a can
The trick is not to in anyway shape or form click on the pop up, this is a knee jurk reaction that I am working on with my clients to stop and read what popped up.
Also unplug you network cable ASAP, break the connection to the outside world while you work on this problem

Hi guys, i have this total security problem too. it’s stopping me from doing anything i can’t install any of the programs reccomended and when I press f8 for safe mode start up my keyboard becomes inactive and i am unable to select safe mode. Any suggestions? Thanks

I need a customer service number to get my money back, anyone who has a number would be appreciated

i had purchased the total security lifetime package, but they have cheated me. they charged USD 99.00 and i did not recieve any code to activate. please inform me what can be done.
i am very unhappy.

combofix is the only thing I have seen that removes it. download.com has this file. Malware Bytes is also suppose to remove but it would not on a couple of our computers.

in reply to ujjawal goel

the whole total security lifetime package is a scam! they got your credit card information, so if i were you, call your bank and let them know what happened.

your solution for total security

install revo uninstaller, get it from download.com, run uninstaller in advance mode and follow the prompts, select all files as per screen, uninstall and reboot. Install avira / update,get it from download.com and run full scan, avira will pick up the trojan. Go to program files on your c drive and delete the TS folder, if this folder is locked boot in safe mode F8 and delete the folder.

I got rid of this yesterday! Go to malware bytes.org. When you try to download the virus will try and block it accompanied by a flashing bar at the top of the window. Simply go to the middle of the page where it will say ” if your having trouble downloading click here” and click there. This should let the download go through. Once you install malwarebytes anitmalware, it should fing the virus and remove it. This worked on my computer, so hopefully it will help you.
