I downloaded in regular mode, then went to safe network mode to run the anti malware. It seems to be gone but I still have the zipped file icon...I feel much better though. Thank you so much!!! LdeM

The Windows Security popup virus was so bad it kept me from running any spyware removal programs, but I was able to switch user from administrator to personal and run malwarebytes with no problems and it removed the virus.

I ran the MBAM tool on my badly infected computer with the "YOUR SYSTEM IS INFECTED" wallpaper sign in red and all the disgusting pop up and automatic downloads. It worked so damn well, I just wanted to put a thank you note for the help and will definitely forward to GeekPolice.net for future help. Thanks guys the B***** is gone!!!!

Hi, my computer received a virus yesterday and I ran Malwarebytes to clean it, but it's still not working. I did the exact same steps as shown in this forum, but it still says my computer is infected. Any ideas on what I should do next?

I also have a Symantec Ativirus detector and it detected one trojan, but it won't allow me to remove it. I would appreciate any help.

It worked like a charm. Spent hours trying to backtrace the source of infection, with marginal success. Malwarebytes cleared everything in about 10 minutes. Outstanding product! THANK YOU for making it available!!!
