Need Help Uninstalling Fake Security Program!!!

[KingV2k3]

Hi,

I somehow ended up with "My Security Engine" installing itself on my Dell PC laptop...

I googled the program, found out it was a fake, but the instructions to remove the program only lead to more security sales pitches...

How do I get this off my PC?

I looked in the uninstall programs list and can't find it...

When I put the cursor over it, a bar comes up that reads: Location:C:\documents and seetings\all users application data 57936c5

Where do I find it and how do I get rid of it?

The constant pop ups are driving me nutz!

THANKS!!!

Had something like this happen to my friends computer. I got it off of his.

Try turning the computer off and turn it back on but load it up in safe mode and delete it.
If that don't work you're best bet will be to backup all the files you need and do a system restore from safe mode.

I don't know any other way, but that worked for me.

I just had this same problem last night

Kids man...

I just restored to an earlier date and that fixed it but i put up AVG quick

That trash is a trojan program, it even makes a horse noise on you when you try to shut it down

It wont let you run certain programs, it wont let you install anything to use, it wont let you open task manager, and who knows what else

They want to sell something to delete the something that's trying to sell me something...

After I tried rebooting, I googled this and it's not what it seems...

Malwarebytes has saved my butt on multiple computers on Vista and XP. The free version removed all the viruses from my computers. I just used the quickscan option which took about 20 minutes to find rogue adware. More of these fake security sites are showing up and all of them are asking for your credit card number. Dont give them anything. You can still scan your computer from safe mode as well.

I would suggest installing the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware. It'll typically clear stuff like that if you run a scan in safe-mode
