These are totally useless fake security products that little garbage heaps try to tout to the unwary over the internet.

I am sure that my fellow moderators and administrators will be watching the next post in this thread very carefully.

Read all of my instructions very carefully. Your mistakes during cleaning process may have very serious consequences, like unbootable computer.
If you're stuck, or you're not sure about certain step, always ask before doing anything else.
Please refrain from running any tools, fixes or applying any changes to your computer other than those I suggest.
Never run more than one scan at a time.
Keep updating me regarding your computer behavior, good, or bad.
The cleaning process, once started, has to be completed. Even if your computer appears to act better, it may still be infected. Once the computer is totally clean, I'll certainly let you know.
If you leave the topic without explanation in the middle of a cleaning process, you may not be eligible to receive any more help in malware removal forum.
I close my topics if you have not replied in 5 days. If you need more time, simply let me know. If I closed your topic and you need it to be reopened, simply PM me.

1. Format any / all drives. You can use the clean command in Windows if you really want to.
2. Install OS, and keep it updated. You can also update your BIOS which sometimes is based on security concerns.
3. Don't download or click on something that might not be safe.
4. Use a 3rd party security program (or use Windows Security).
5. Use common sense when using PC.
6. Make sure you have the firewall/security features turned on in your router/modem. When using the internet, make sure the connection is secure (not sending private info over unknown/unsecured networks).

If you follow those 6 rules, you shouldn't have any problem unless your PC is a high-value target for hackers or governments (which isn't likely).
