Internet Security Pro???

    Earlier today, I went online to look up what is playing at the local movie theater. Suddenly, my webpage closed and I couldn't get back online due to Internet Security Pro. It kept popping up. I restarted in safe mode with networking and followed the directions in the read m first post. I can now get online, but now I get a pop up from Advanced System Protector. I don't remember ever installing that, and I don't see any way to uninstall it. I can minimize the window, but it comes back minutes later.
    I am guessing it is bad . . . and I might have more bad stuff on here. This is the only computer in the house and I share it with two young teens.
    I am a novice at this stuff . . . . but I hope I did this all right . . .


    Thank you is advance for all your help. This site is a life saver!!

    Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be

    Okay, I followed all of your directions.
    The only one that confused me is deleting that homepage in Google Chrome.
    I must be missing something completely, or they make it very difficult.
    I think I did it right . . .

    Not as straight forward as IE but not too hard. See the below link:

    https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95314?hl=en

    Change the home page in IE too since it is also set to the same thing.


    You did not tell me how things are working so I will assume they are okay since your logs are clean.



    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
