Thank you so much, at first I was not sure it was going to work, but when I downloaded the program you told me about, i thought to myself: What else could happen, my pc can be ruined, but no, it worked great and althought I paid 80 dollars to those phishers, I’m sure they are gone, and the credit card info they have is no longer valid.

Matt, thank you so much for posting this! You just saved me my sanity. I don’t know how I got the Anti-Virus Number 1 on my computer, but for the longest time I just could not remove it or stop it from its constant harassment. I was on the verge of calling the company and give them a piece of my mind! If terrorism existed through a computer, this was a perfect example of what it is! Blessing to you my friend! Best wishes and many thanks! Ri

Matt, probably your computer also infected with a trojan, that blocks running of MBAM. Please follow these steps.

Hello, I was able to remove the registry entries and files using your information. Thank you. I was also able to download the MBAM but when I run it, it will freeze up and I will get a message that the program is not responding. I have tried to run it 3 times and the last time it sat for 3 hours. Can you help me with this?
