I believe I successfully downloaded PC Tools, but I did not know how to start it. This ‘Security Tool’ is blocking me from using my all-in-one “Windows Live Care” security, and blocking me from doing just about everthing. Please help. Thank you..

I just got hit by it….go for system restore…thats how I fixed it
try this move, it worked for me after going nuts over this for a whole day.
Reboot in safe mode
browse to C:\Documents and settings\all users\ application data
There will be a folder in there that has eight numbers as a name (ex 91908431)
Delete this bad boy, empty recycle bin
Reboot normally, delete all left over shortcuts, empty recycle bin again and you are home free.
i got hit by this one, it has taken over the whole computer, i need help.
can not even start in safe mode
I restarted in safe mode (F8) and then used the restore function - all progs - accessories - system tools - system restore. I’m using XP.
So far, OK.
Got hit with this. I can’t start in Safe Mode and it will not let me delete this file as Philly Keith mentioned. Any other suggestions?
I can’t open any programs from my computer nor even download.
Got hit yesterday, now can’t even start safe mode. Already reboot and f8, but only shows up blank when select safe mode
What to do? Urgent help
I completed the purchase with fake information but with the correct number of characters of cc numbers etc. and the annoying popup and blue screen of near death disappeared after telling me my computer is clean!
AVG appears to have picked out the Trojans and put them in its vault.
I cannot download any spyware or malware and cannot reboot in safe mode, please help, it’s driving me crazy.
First I used msconfig to disable all start up programs. Did a reboot and “Safety Center” still loaded. I then deleted any .exe files in the root dir that I didn’t reconize. Then I renamed the Directory “Program Files\Safety Center” to “junk”. Did another reboot and the program DID NOT load. Still couldn’t get any anti-virus to run. Removed the hard drive and added it to a computer running One Care, did a scan and found 26 diff virus. After returning the hard drive to the first puter, I reinstalled SP2 to XP. Then installed AVG 9.0 with NO problems.
how did i remove
I did it as Philly Keith said and it is OK.
Thanks
Bye from Czech republic
Also did as Phily Keith said and got rid of it easily. Thanks
pris avec ce virus
Philly Keith was a life savor OMG Can’t say thank You enough
I get the blue screen of death immediately when I try to boot in Safe Mode. When I restart normally, Security Tool won’t let me open a single window. Not “Run” or “Search” or “Control Panel” much less any programs. A pop-up windows says that all of those are infected with viruses trying to steal my credit card information.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I got hit by this virus and after listening to some ill advice, I ran MSCONFIG and unchecked everything except regedit. It did not bring me to Safe Mode and every option of Safe Mode brought on the blue screen of death. Tried going into ‘Last Known Good Configuration’ and ‘Start Normally’ but both produced a green screen of death!
How do I recover from this? I am now more interested in booting into some place than to rid the virus!
PLEASE HELP!
I am using a VISTA system - how do I get rid of this virus in VISTA? Thanks!
how did i remove
Thanks Clay your antidote worked.
get task manager running by hitting ctrl+shift+esc. you must do this the second windows appears. If you get task manager running before the malware starts you can then shut down the process. then delete by using Philly Keith’s instruction.
Fake Security Tool, it block my PC for 2 days and it force & ask me to buy its program, go to hell for Security Tool.
Any Response?
