Worked a treat removing Win 7 Antivirus.
This may help some people: I had to re name the installer and then rather than double click I had to right click and select ‘open’ to get it to run. Nasty little virus that one.
Cheers, N.
I downloaded the malware… Forgot I already had it installed but it’s old… Pulled up the downloaded setup and followed instructions… Now I can’t get it to open or run or scan and I can’t uninstall.. I think I’m totally blocked by the XP security 2012 infection… Any suggestions? Thanks
