That means it can happen again. I would do occasional scans with some anti-spware (updated). Just in case.

I did indeed check with my credit card company, to see if I can have the charge voided...they'll get back to me. *fingers crossed* I used my McAfee security to restore the computer back to it's previous state. (Aprox. 3 weeks before.) I didn't have to delete anything, once the process was finished. (Because, I didn't notice anything unusual.) Everything seems to be back to normal. Hmmmmmm????? Do you think my laptop is going to be ok? Also, my laptop is wireless, but, do I need to be worried about my other pc? Thank-you for the advice.

Heopfully you can dispute the charge on your credit card and stop payment. This procedure worked for me today (10/05/06): Renamed taskmgr.exe to iexplore.exe Launched iexplore (taskmanager) find a process has a series of numbers (18142034.exe in my case) end that process. Pop up warnings should stop start the registry editor (regedit) search for that process name in the registry (I found about 5) delete all of them. Search the hard drive for a file with that name ( I found 1, 18142034.pf) delete it. Rebbot the computer. You should be able to download and run malwarbytes which will clean the rest of the garbage.

At first, I was suspicious about installing anything, but it said it worked with McAfee (an anti-virus that I do pay for), so...I ordered it on my credit card. I still haven't had any problems since doing this, two days ago. Should I be scared? Eeeek!! I need advice!! OK…so, I am reading all of this stuff about Total Security, and my mind is blown!

Also, you might try canceling all unwanted processes by leaving a single edited document open and shutdowning the computer (and later canceling the shutdown). Then scan with antiviruses. Lando,

I'm writing this from a gracious friend's laptop in an effort to remove this program. Total Security has COMPLETELY disabled my computer. I cannot run the Task Manager, my Recycle Bin has disappeared, I've downloaded Malwarebytes (which I already had) and a few other anti-spyware programs and even though they download I cannot run them (have tried renamed the .exe files as well). Rebooting in SafeMode and "Last Known Good Configuration" is no help either. I'm at a complete loss as to how to salvage my laptop at this point. Any help would be GREATLY (x INFINITY) appreciated. I've looked into as many options on as many websites as possible and have followed the steps people have taken to remove Total Security with success and am utterly unable to replicate them as my issues seem to be semi-unique.

IF booting from install cd shows that there is no hard drive, maybe your windows install has no drivers for that HDD? Though that would be unlikely case. In no case you should install over existing windows version, because there might be trojans in your user application data directory and they might be launched again. Second, check what file names are allowed to run, and rename the downloaded files to that. They have to allow total security executable to run - that is no question. So it will not be blocked. Ken

I am also not able to operate in Safe Mode, I get a sinister wallpaper announcing that all my data is at risk and that I must activate TS. Then I get the BSOD, which I am certain is also fake. Downloaded files are not allowed to run, command prompt is not allowed to run, nor can I get to services through Sys Admin pages in the Control Panel. As typical, the computer will run a small set of programs, but I am loathe to connect to the Internet with this virus still running. I have backed up all the files I want on the computer and tried to re-install windows, but the windows install tells me that there is no hard drive! Any ideas? I am thinking my only recourse is to get a new HD, which is not cost prohibitive, but I hate admitting defeat.
