I use Malwarebytes anti-Malware to get rid of malware.

What is it doing? Is it that one with all the pop ups? If so, I got that one on my machine at work, was finally able to do a system restore. Went back about 4 days and that seemed to work. But you’re right, that was one nasty piece of code.

(1) Try canned malware removal tools (several will be suggested in this thread).

(2) When that fails, schedule an afternoon to work on it, go to www.majorgeek.com, and exactly follow their instructions for dealing with viruses and malware. (It’s all free, but will take a while. And when I say “exactly,” I mean EXACTLY. You will be messing with dangerous parts of the OS. A mistake WILL nuke it.)

How to remove Security Tool Virus / Malware ( Removal Guide )

There's a link on that page to download the free version of  MalwareBytes. That should remove it.

Oh, if this is the one a got a few days ago, it is very nasty. It would not even let me run any anti virus programs, or system restore.

I was able to do a system restore the second my computer turned back on. It takes a a minute before this nasty bug gets up and running after you turn on your computer. If you can get into system restore before it gets going, your home free.

My dad had that on his computer. One does have to follow the directions for removal EXACTLY. But it does work. At least he didn’t click on the link to pay for the program by credit card.

It’s similar to Old Maid- just try to give it to someone else.

Whoever wrote and released rapidantivirus.com ought to be whipped to death naked with barbed wire while being hosed down with hot vinegar.

But that's just my opinion.

You bleeding heart libs and your lenient punishments that just coddle criminals instead of punishing them.
