    Scroll down to the automated removal instructions and start there. The tools needed are rkill and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and are provided in removal instructions.

    If you can not download anything on infected computer, use a clean computer to download to and copy the rkill and mbam to a cd and install in infected pc in safe mode with networking>http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial...

    If this does not work, you can use BitDefenders Rescue CD. Again you will need a clean computer to download to and a blank cd. The link to this tool has all necessary instructions to do this and has all tools needed to burn this to a cd.

    It will be used at start-up. At start-up, tap F12 until boot in screen comes up and choose CD/DVD drive and hit enter and enter again and from there follow the instructions

    This is a current form of malware, posing as fake antivirus.

    Try to download, install, update and run a free antivirus first - http://free.avg.com/ww-en/download-avg-anti-virus-... comes to mind (AVG). Alternatives are Avast! and Avira, maybe others I do not know of.

    You might have malware (not necessarily captured by the AV) on your computer. Try a free software like SpyBot S&D or Malwarebytes Anti-malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org)./ Again, install, update and run to clean any malware/spyware etc.

    If this worked fine, you might want to stay protected - make sure to keep your AV software up-to-date and the same for the anti-malware. Activate the firewall on your computer (in the Windows options), and you should be fine. You could try to get the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-malware for its IP blocker and scheduled scans/updates options (you can purchase it as a one-time-fee, get a Malwarebytes coupon code shared by other users from http://news.dtcdeals.com/malwarebytes-coupon-code to save at checkout).

    Worst case scenario, you will need to reinstall the software on your system - the original docs should guide you through that. Good luck!

    This rogue antivirus software Total Security 2009, when first run, copies itself to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\[Rnd8]\[Rnd8].exe and executes a batch script to delete the original file. A registry key is created to ensure that it runs at every system startup. A fake system scan starts and displays false results. The user needs to buy the software in order to clean the infections.

    to remove this do this coding in notepad and save it as a batch file .

    erase c:\documents and settings\ all users\application data\56dnk\49hwo.exe

    erase [hkey_current_user_currentcontrolset]

    set = dword :001

    focus = true

    save it and run it it'll surely remove the exe file and the registry made by it.

    And to totally remove infection jst press ctrl+alt+del in the task manager end the suspicious processes and as early as passible download zone alarm firewall to prevent frm these in the furture and also download rkill.
