I manually removed it but the software or what rode in with it is wicked. It disabled System Restore, the Windows Task Manager (to delete processes), the Command Prompt, Windows Defender (which the software tries to look like), and my Antivirus/Antimalware program. Removing the software by hand did not restore the access to the programs.
My (former) antivirus provider pointed me to ComboFix on BleepingComputer.com to try and repair my system. But seeing its home, I found the description specifically of this malware. There they suggested MalwareBytes to remove this specific program. Although already removed by hand, none of these solutions restored the OS programs or Antivirus software. Still working to do that without resorting to a wipe of the hard disk (this was the second suggestion of my (former) antivirus provider).
To manually remove: (Note: hit "Ignore" and the "x" to close the constant pop-ups from the WPS program during this.)
a) Remove your machine from the network, do not download anymore
b) Open Computer or any (Windows) explorer window to change your global folder search options to view extensions to files and hidden files and system folders
c) Right click on the shortcuts in either start-up, quick-launch or the like to find where the executable was put. On Vista, in ProgramData. The malware protected some of their files from deletion but you can usually rename them; especially in safe mode. Whatever ones you cannot delete, then rename to trash, trash1, etc.
d) Delete the quick launch, desktop and startup icons (this will remove the only registry entry I found)
e) In Vista, under User accounts in the hidden AppData folder, I found a directory "Windows Protection Suite" with a log file being written too. I could not delete the file but could rename the directory.
f) Empty your recycle bin of anything you could delete. Make sure the system is idle and everything closed. Some think you should do a normal shutdown. I usually do a hard shut down by pushing and holding the power button. If the system is idle, your disk state should be good. Doing a normal shutdown risks the software being informed and doing more bad deeds to undo what you just did. Either way is risky
g) Reboot in safe mode. Delete all those renamed "trash" files and directories you could not delete before.
h) reboot normally. The software is gone.
Now you will have to "reinstall" or "repair" your anti-virus and other OS files as it is still prevented from running. Not even Windows defender can be started yet. In my case, I was able to rename (not delete or start) the Antivirus program and then start the renamed file after rebooting. This reconfigured and started the program. But it did not find anything.
Still working on how to restore the OS programs that are still blocked. Must be an additional buried .dll file installed somewhere yet.
It is very odd the Anti-virus vendors do not have more about this on their help websites given the program disables their product completely. It is even odder that this program is able to do that. A nasty beast to say the least. Hope it helps.
