I have a fake German security system that has infected my computer. It's a typical virus I got after I accidentally went on a bad website. Any tips to remove it? Please don't suggest any websites or programs; I can't download anything on it.
Thanks.

It's Malware posing as a security system cleaner

1) Reboot in Safe Mode with Networking

2) Plug in a jump drive (USB flash drive) and go to www.malwarebytes.org

3) Download the free version to your jumpdrive and install it on the jumpdrive

4) Before you scan, update the malwarebytes program (there will be a "tab" that says update or it will prompt you to update it when you install.) You are going to run the scan from the jump drive.

5) Do a full scan of your C: and D: drives

6) Reboot



This should take care of it. I had a similar virus not too long ago. It was posing as a Windows security system problem and it wouldn't let me do anything. It kept telling me that everything was infected.

fake security system install on your computer without your permission. Usually, it infect your computer via malware. This kind of virus can automatically run when you start your windows system. An security keep popping up saying “Worm.Win32.NetSky” was detected on your computer. After this fake indication, Internet Securty will do a forcible scan. A lot of such awful error messages you will get. If you try to remove those fake threats, Internet Security 2010 will ask you to buy their product. Don’t believe them!

suggest you remove it with a registry cleaner.

To remove the proxy for IE



Click Tools

Click Internet Options

Select the Connections Tab

Click Lan Settings

Remove Checkbox next to proxy



To get rid of it totally you must run some sort of adware removal.



I suggest using another computer to download malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) and install it onto your system with errors. Burn it a CD or put it on a Jump/Flash Drive
