Akpsp,
Have confirmed that this is a
FAKE Microsoft Security Essentials alert.
This type of alert is appearing as a result, and yours is too close for comfort:
For starters, please download
rKill.exe:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/dl/10/
Save to the Desktop.
If
rkill.exe does not run, then download and try to run
iExplore.exe (renamed RKill.exe):
Downloading RKill
You only need to get one of these to run.
If your antivirus warns you about this tool, ignore the warning, or temporarily disable your antivirus.
Right-click on the downloaded file and select: Run as Administrator
A black DOS box briefly flashes and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
If
rkill.exe does not run, delete the file, then download and use:
iExplore.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/dl/11/
Do not reboot until instructed.
When the scan is done Notepad opens with the
RKill report.
Please post the
RKill report in your reply.
>>> Do not reboot your computer after running RKill as the malware starts again!!
Next, please download
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM):
Downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Save to the Desktop.
If you already installed MBAM, launch the program.
MBAM may make changes to the Registry as part of its disinfection routine.
If using other security programs that detect Registry changes, they may interfere or alert you. Permit the program to allow the changes, or, temporarily disable:
How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs - BleepingComputer.com
When MBAM starts, you are asked to
update the program.
Press
OK, and continue.
On the
Scanner tab:
Select the
Perform Quick Scan option.
Then click on the
Scan button.
If asked to select the drives to scan, leave
all the drives selected.
Next, click on the
Start Scan button.
The scan may take some time to complete, so please be patient.
When finished, a message box shows:
The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found.
Click
OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
Back at the main
Scanner screen:
Click on the
Show Results button to see a list of any malware found.
Make sure everything is checked, and click:
Remove Selected
When removal is completed, a report opens in
Notepad.
The log is also automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the
Logs tab.
Please provide the entire contents of the
MBAM report in your reply.
Exit
MBAM when done.
Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you are asked to reboot the computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to do this, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) prevents MBAM from removing all the malware.
Note: If the infection blocks the downloading of MBAM, use a
clean computer, rename the executable file to AlaskaAM at the time you download it, and place it on a USB flash drive. Then, plug in the USB flash drive into your computer, move the program to the Desktop, and see if you can run it.
It your Desktop gets locked, post back, and we will work around it.
