| | Don't be fooled by fake MSE Quote: There is a new fake Microsoft Security Essentials doing the rounds! This Microsoft Security Essentials Alert is basically a Trojan which tries to trick you into buying one of the 5 rogue anti-virus programs that it is pushing. When the fake alert pops-up, it says that a malware has detected on your computer.

| | Hey AnubisZX5, The first thing you could try is to boot into safe mode and do a sys restore to a point before you installed it. Some malware/viruses like to nest in restore points, so you may want to go back one or 2 places past the point that you installed it. If that fails to remedy the situation, Corrine posted some good info on her site (link on her post above) with a link to help remove it. Remove the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan and AntiSpySafeguard I hope this helps |
