that windows 7 security IS A VIRUS
it bugs you until you pay for it and then watch as your bank account gets emptied
you have to go into your registry and look for the default .EXE extension, and you will find it runs some program called “rhs.exe” (or somethign similar) and passes in any program as a parameter
That executes the trojan, which then displays that warning and then executes your software so that every program you run first runs that progam
ignore it and go into the registry editor and search for ALL occurances of rhs.exe (or whatever it calls iteself on your install)
you can also try to run the task manager and remove rhs.exe (terminate it)
There are sites where you can download a fix program that does this for you (google search on the name Win 7 security trojan)
THEN!!!!
NEVER NEVER NEVER run your computer without 2 things:
anti-virus (www.avast.com is free and GREAT)
and malwarebytes.com
(and stay off those websites you been to LOL....)
I was running Avira Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Super Anti-Spyware and still got it!
Other sites mentioned that it is a three-letter.exe program. In my computer it showed up as qbs.exe or something like that and I'd hit "end process" in Task Manager and it would go away but then come back as soon as I clicked anything else. Is it possible to actually remove a program in Task Manager?
I've always been leery of messing around in the registry editor but if this does come back - or is in there now, I'll delete any three-letter.exe file. Are there no legitimate three-letter.exe files?
Thanks again.
Not true.You can download microsoft’s anti-virus software free of charge for the new windows 7 .I know I have done it for my wife,I installed it her her new notebook PC and she has had no problems so far.

I run those programs at work and when I make “house calls” to the technically disadvantaged. At home, I run Linux.
