    AV Security Suite is really hard to get rid of. I would offer you free manual removal instructions but this is both very hard and dangerous if you are not a computer expert. If you remove the wrong registry files you can actually do WORSE damage than the virus. The best thing to do is just get a specialized AV Security Suite removal tool. I highly recommend the one I use. You can scan your system for free with it at:

    Well, you could back up all of your files on an external drive, then reformat. Or download:

    http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware...

    Make sure it updates, then do a quick scan, then a full scan.

    After that's done, go to:

    http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000...

    Your infected with a rouge AV, they can be nasty. Just don't go to suspicious sites. And if there's a pop up saying you're infected, don't click it, or download anything it says to download.

    Have fun.
