    If you have UPDATED (as of 12/24/08) Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, selected to REMOVE what it finds, and that does not work, let us know.

    I cannot get the computer online to update it. I successfully found and got rid of 4 other things, including antivirus 2009 but not the pesky system security thing. also i tried running the RogueRemoverFree but everytime it says there is something wrong and it won't run. i will keep trying, thanks for the info

    Hello

    if you have any other computer then download this.

    www.superantispyware.com and then burn it in a cd or dvd and then run it.

    Try the professional version of the software and its free. Try running a complete scan and it will take a few hrs but it will remove all the spywares for sure.

    "I cannot get the computer online to update it.""

    * If you are unable to download or install MBAM on your computer, see if you can use a friend's or family member's computer to download MBAM. Use this update link here to manually download the update. Once downloaded, rename the program installer "mbam-setup.exe" file to something else like "catchjunk.exe". Copy the installer file and the update file to a CD or flash drive. Transfer the file to the infected computer. Install the "catchjunk.exe" file, then run the update so that you will have the current definitions. After that, run a full system scan and select to have the program REMOVE whatever it finds.

    -- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM.

    If you continue to have problems, let me know.

    Yes, try that. There should be a rules.ref and an installer that will run.

    That does not remove the malware.  It is too difficult to get into a long fix while Dell is working on fixing their forum software. I suggest that you post a DDS log at SpywareHammer. It's the holidays, so it may take a few days until you can get help.

    Use a CD or USB stick/flash drive to  download DDS on a clean computer. Transfer it to the infected one. DDs will not fix anything, but it will show us what is happening on the machine.

    • Use a clean computer and your CD or a flashdrive to download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links.  Transfer/Save it to your desktop on the infected computer.
    • Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
    • A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool.
    • Click Yes at the prompt for Optional Scan.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs
    • 1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt

    • Save both reports to your desktop.
    • Copy/paste both logs to your new topic on the forum HERE. Include in your title, "System Security Removal", and in your post give a description of your symptoms.
    • Close the DDS program window, and delete the program from your desktop.
    • Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet. Information on A/V control HERE
