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). |

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.
