Possibly even an educated response. Total Security IS the Malware. I have included a link to a site that instructs you on it's 'Manual' removal. I chose this so that yo might get some experience working with the actual workings of Vista. http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-total-security.html [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Cannot remove annoying program Monday, August 24, 2009 at 7:30 am Posted by Mousey (28 messages posted) Dear Charlie, I think that everyone who frequents this forum has realised by now that you are better educated, more knowledgeble, more helpful, wiser and all-round a better person than anyone else who posts here. So there's no need for more of your snide put-downs. Got the message yet ? NB I would suggest a little attention to your own spelling and grammar, but how can you improve on perfection ?

How can I correct this problem? Charlie, thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I have never worked in registry, got in, got toCurrent User, and a long list of programs appeared, could not find what you wanted me to delete, is it possible to show me what I am doing wrong?

Boot into Safe Mode with networking 2. Turn off System Restore 3. Download and install MalwareBytes from here 4. Do "Perform Full Scan" and accept all the deletions it proposes 5. Reboot normally and, if all's well, turn System restore on again Hope this helps.

Sounds kind of like a certain political party in this country. The man needed help. He got nothing but a jerk comment. I went in and helped him. Get over it. Go join the girls scouts or something. When people come here they probably have seen most of what they can Google and are only more confused by it. They come here to get an educated answer and help. Not told to go away, which is what he originally got told. As long as people ask the questions, as long as Oreilly press has the site and permits me to assist, I will do the best job I can regardless what some little brat thinks. I put up with a lot more H&H from the VietCong than you could ever give me.

My cheers to you 100%, who cares about grammar/granmarrrr. We all know what you are talking about. I knew that you wouldn't let that bother you. Some of these guys should go where we have been!
