| Go into safe mode with networking. Right click your ranivitus icon and choose run as administrator . You should be able to access your virus scanner this way. Do a full scan. It should detect and remove it. After this, it's a good idea to run a spyware/malware detector like spybot search and destroy or IObit Security. I also used ccleaner to do a registry cleanup .My ranivitus (AVG 9 full) caught everything but I did the rest just to be safe. 4 days now, and no problems since. | |

| this thing is a nightmare, it bkcols access to .exe files, so it wont let you run antispyware/malware from the desktop or from windows programs. as it was said earlier, you can look for it under program files. when you find the program, (mine was listed as internet security 2010) the files are hidden within the directory, so you have to show hidden files. you can either try and delete the dir or rename the .exe file so the program wont start when your computer is restarted. Restart your computer and run your anti spyware. I have malwarebytes , the spyware would not let me open an .exe from either the desktop or windows programs, but I was able to scan the directory within windows explorer with malwarewbytes by right clicking the directory and clicking scan with malwarebytes. | |
