Remove It From

Cyber-criminals often use rogue security products to scam others online. These products are applications which feature a trial option. The application will warn of false infections and security issues so the user can buy the false software. The user is under the false implication that their computer is effected with malware and other forms of viruses. Users are subjected to multiple pop-ups and intrusions of files. These applications are in most cases installed by other spyware and viruses.The entire computer must be investigated including the files and hardware. Here is a manual guide on how to remove system security rogueware, but it is recommended for experienced techos only because of the severe damage a wrong file deletion can cause. If you have any doubts use a reputable antispyware product.

Finding The Executable File for System-Security-Rogue Software

The first step involves finding and removing the executable file of the rogue application. This can be done by opening 'Process Explorer'. A quick check should be done for names such as: "AV", "XP", etc. Users should make sure not to erase authentic processes that may have came with a pre-installed security suites (these suites usually come with the computer when purchased). If unfamiliar names have been spotted, they can be investigated using Google. Users can find out more about the process of these fake names.

Another option for finding these files is by using the "Find Window's Process" found in the Process Explorer tab. Click on the button over the windows of the threat. After doing this, release the mouse button. This will select the rogue product.

If Windows Is Unable To Close

If the window will not close, the user can press Ctrl+F and type in the names of the processes that were found earlier. The user will need to select a handle in the list that also appeared earlier (in the search process). While the Process Explorer window is open, click on the selected thread (right-click). After doing so, the user will need to close the handle. This process will need to be completed until no more handles are open anymore.

The path of the process should be recorded or written down for future reference. In Explorer, browse the path and write down the filenames. After doing so, delete the entire folder. After doing this, the only folder that should remain is the registry entries. Some of the most common files/folders that malware attach themselves to is, 'Window Logon' and 'Internet Explorer'.

Delete All Spyware Entries

The final step will involve deleting all entries that are not related with the files in the folder which were previously deleted. This entire guide will be able to help infected computers get rid of the system-security-rogue software, which can lead to further file corruption.

This procedure is risky for inexperienced users. Please make sure to use at own risk. If the user is inexperienced, it is best to use a reputable antispyware product to automatically repair your system.
