    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.

    Sheryl, follow the steps below:
    Click Start, Run, type regedit and press Enter.
    Registry editor opens.
    Navigate in the left panel to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Clients \ StartMenuInternet \ IEXPLORE.EXE \ shell \ open \ command

    I the right part of window click twice to “@”. You will see a screen with the contents like below: “C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\av.exe” /START “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”
    Remove left part, leave only “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”.

    Run Internet Explorer and try download Malwarebytes once again.

    Thank you very much, your program cleared this nasty piece of SH*T called AntiSpyware.
    Had to boot in safe mode as nothing was working, this software wouldn’t let anything else run, even in safe mode, it kept popping up.
    Thank you once again

    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.
