Hi, sandman.
I expect you meant 2010 or 2011. Regardless, mickey megabyte is correct about using Malwarebytes Anti-malware. However, note that MBAM is best run in normal mode rather than safe mode. For reference, Bleeping Computer's guide: How to remove XP Security Tool 2010, XP Defender Pro, and Vista Security Tool 2010 (Uninstall Guide). |

Hi, sandman. See the instructions here: Remove Win 7 Antispyware 2012 and Vista Antivirus 2012 name changing rogue (Uninstall Guide). One of the names the rogue uses is "XP Internet Security 2012".

Thanks for the info have checked everything possible going to do a reformat, which is over due for this system. I had another system or even 3 with this same or like virus and the end result was a clean install finally over the coarse of 3-6 months. Thanks for the info.
