    Hello.

    Four days ago my PC was invaded by a program called Total Security. I don't manage to eliminate that program and it stays permanently in the desktop. How can I eliminate it?
    When I enter in a site, almost always it displays a Warning from Microsoft telling me that site is unsafe. Is it from Microsoft or is it a virus? ( This also happens with the site forum.videohelp.)
    What is the right to do this? What must I do?

    Thanks a lot.


    P.S. - My protection is AVG free.

    Malware Bytes should be able to remove it. You may have to kill the running processes before installing Malware Bytes

    Ignore the download links on this page, just read it for the files you should be looking to remove : http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-total-security.html

    I have had to clean up a few variants of this particular nasty. One variant also writes over 700 registry keys to block the running of most anti-virus/anti-spyware tools, as well as regedt32, cmd etc. It also filled the HOST files with dummy records to redirect a huge number of typical sites (goolge etc) through someone else's servers, slowing browsing to a crawl as they watched everything sent to those servers.

    Malware Bytes cleaned the systems in question
