PC Protector removal

Post by carla54 on Fri 05 Feb 2010, 12:08 pm

I have tried your instructions regarding removing PC Protector. The message comes up about m-bam.exe but then bombs out. A message at the bottom of the screen informs me that m-bam is infected and to use some anti-spyware program. Spysweeper and Window Washer will not work, as well as Malwarebytes which was already installed on my computer. To top it all off, when closing up all the tabs, a porno site popped up on the screen! This all started with entering a survey questionaire which then sent me on to a sweepstakes offer. Help!!!
