I have a problem. I downloaded this random file and it came with Vista Internet Security. I know what it is and I’ve already had it two times in a row before, so I decided to download this to get it off. Last time I actually had to reboot my computer because it got so bad… Anyway, this didn’t help at all. I tried scanning my computer in full mode but it still won’t detect the virus! I need help. I turned off alerts so it won’t pop up but whatever I do, it still won’t go away. I know that if you un-install this then it will come back again but most importantly I can’t find the file name. It’s hidden somewhere and it’s really confusing because no strategy can actually work. I really need some help and I don’t want to reboot my laptop again since I hate restarting everything and I couldn’t be bothered to look for my USB again. Help?

I have XP Security Tool 2010 on my desktop, when I try to go to the internet to download MalwareBytes but the XP Security pops up on the browser and won’t let me go to any sites. What can I do to get around this? Thank goodness for my laptop or else I’d be screwed.

Hi i think you should add in useing mozilla firefox when you have xp smart security 2010 spywear will let you go to any page wearas Internet explorer wont.
I am currently having major spyware problems, I just downloaded Malwreytes’ and it is running as we speak. I will let you know how it turns out. but my question is is there programs out there a person should download and buy, like they will cause more problems. I downloaded Spyware Doctor and I still have issues and wondering if I should uninstall it or not.
Ok I clicked one of the links above so I can download MalwareBytes onto my computer, but when I clicked them it showed a page error and the page(s) won’t load, I even tried using google search and still it won’t let me in their site. Sometimes I wonder if it’s greedy ppl that wanted to take down the website or the website is having problems.
Thanks, this was great! 🙂
