AV Security virus is aggressive in defending itself. It comes with a proxy, so you have to go into Safe Mode & change a setting, then download an app to stop the virus's processes, then it can be removed.



Here's a step-by-step removal guide:

I already gave you a link with a proven way to remove the threat. I gave it to another users this morning, he followed the instructions and gave me best answer. He got rid of it. Plus going by the posts at the link I gave I know it works. If you did not try it you should. If you reformatted and it came back, there really is only one possibility. But first if you did not reformat the right way, then malware can still be on your computer. Here are instructions for the right way to reformat, so nothing is left.

They will also have instructions for whatever OS you are using. But lets say you did reformat with a complete delete of your old OS. If you did all that right and reinstalled your OS, and at first it seemed fine and then a short time later you where infected again. Then you must be on a router. If your router has been hijacked, reformatting the computer isn't really going to help because the router will just send you to a site that will infect you again.

when u reformat your computer it deletes all viruses so im not sure what websites your going to after you've done it but thats what keeps bring it back. get better security software once its removed this time maybe a better browser depending on what your using,google or firefox and sandboxie works extremely good.

Some page you visit or other PCs in same networks are infected. Or you have infected files in backup.

Smithfraudfix is outdated.

Malwarebytes have no real time protection in free version, so it allows viruses to come back... Till you pay :)

You should get a good anti-virus, good anti-malware and firewall. I would recommend ESET Smart security for that, however it is a bit costly.

To remove Av security suite, stop processes that look like complete grabage or end in Tssd.exe. Then search for them on hardrive and delete. Scan with Spyware Doctor, scanner is free, and see which files are infected

I developed this program myself. I know this malware, I know how it works, how the developer has developed it, how they use cracking site, P2P, email link, facebook etc... to install it on your system without your will.



This program removes
