I installed Malwarebytes’ in the hopes of removing antimalware doctor from my computer, I have ran the scan once already but the pop-ups have continued, do you have any tips, I plan on running more scans in the hope that this will help, but I am not convinced this will work.
Jess, please update Malwarebytes and try scan once again.
I followed the instructions to remove XP Internet Security Alert virus. I already had malwarebytes but re-installed and ran. The pop-ups stopped but I cannot open Internet Explorer.

So, I’ll try again…
I downloaded fix.reg and the Malware app which seemed to fix the problem when it flared up the other day. Then it popped up again today. I set a system restore for a date last month, which seemed to help. Then I noticed that there was an icon file in the Control Panel list, which I can’t find a way to remove. Any suggestions? Help?
