Screw you Win 7 Antispyware 2011!!!

[weirdichi]

How do I get rid of this shiet? I don't even know how it installed itself onto my system. I tried Superantispyware with no avail. Avast does not pick it up. I can't uninstall it from the Control Panel. Anybody know how to get rid of this crap?

Please see this link (be sure to print it out) for instructions on it's removal.

You will need Malwarebytes and also a program called RKill .. both links are on that page of instructions.

You could also try a System Restore as a quick opening move.

Once you've got it removed one way or the other, make sure to check over your system for missing security patches with Secunia's PSI: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/

First, you need to begin visiting higher quality porn sites .....

Seriously, though, you probably just picked it up as a drive-by download.

Sometimes the thieves that distribute this crap manage to even get it hosted on otherwise mainstream websites. It isn't unusual for the initial infection to download and install other stuff, like rootkits, which protect the malware by killing your attempts to clean it out. If you have a docking station or USB enclosure in which you can install the drive to access it from another computer, you can pull the drive, connect it to another computer, and run the security software to clean the drive that way so the malware isn't running to protect itself. A bootable live CD can also be used to clean it out.

Once you finally get it clean, here are some steps to take to minimize the chances of it happening again:

Creating a limited user account (i.e. an account with limited or no administrative rights) for web browsing is always the very first step to take. You also may want to delete all the system restore points as sometimes malware infect them and hide there waiting to be reinstalled.

i would just start over - removing all of the customer payloads is near to zero. restore from backup that is known clean is the only solution i would recommend. if no backup exists extract important files and re-install.
