Persona Securtiy is inbedded in my computer and I can't remove it in the add/remove I tried running Malwawarebytes on safe mode and that didn't work either. I tried downloading HijackThis again and the log pad does not appear and I can't copy and paste. Also when trying to update I get a message stating that Internet Explorer 8 for windows xp not downloaded. Its a possibility that the javara didn't download either because when I hit run to download I never got a message that download was succusful or complete. My computer is probably in real bad shape. I also noticed that the icons on dashboard disappear after the first log into the internet. So as soon as I x out of here there will be no icons on desktop and I'll have to turn off my computer and reboot.

Download OTL by OldTimer to your Desktop.

  • Close all windows and double click OTL.exe
  • Click Run Scan and let the program run uninterrupted
  • It will produce two logs for you, one will pop up - OTL.txt, the other will be saved on your Desktop - Extras.txt. Post both logs in this thread.
  • You may need to use two posts to get it all.

I had a difficult time finding the OTL website to download this program. I finally found something but when I tried to download I wasn't able to. Is there a specific place that I need to go to do this from?

If the malware is blocking downloads, can you download tools from another machine and transfer them over via USB?

Double click OTL.exe.

  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Hello, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but with the holidays and all it was crazy. I was finally able to run OTL.exe and remove the Personal Security from my computer, icons and all. I did notice yesterday when I turned on my computer and went into Enternet Explorer that some adv. popped up with sound. I'm assuming that there is more to do after that step. I apologize I forgot to paste the log that you requested I copy after the run fix button. Do I follow the instructions that you posted last.
"Double click OTL.exe.:
Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.

If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.

The tool will delete itself once it finishes."?

After removing OTL, lets use MBAM.

Please download and run this tool.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.


Post the contents of the MBAM Log.

I take that last comment back. I rebooted and the advertisment was gone. I only get the windows defender message that states: application failed to initialize 0x800106ba A problem caused windows defender Service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search Help & Support on how to start a service manually.

Another question, I currently have AVG 8.5 (free version)on my personal computer, will this be enough to avoid getting infected with the same problems in the future?Or do you recommend something else.

descriptionPersonal Security removal EmptyRe: Personal Security removal

AVG will do, along with the following tips.

We need to make a new restore point.

To turn off System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK.
4. Click Yes when you receive the prompt to the turn off System Restore.

Now we need to make a new restore point.
To turn on System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (To turn on System Restore), and then click OK.

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously; these few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems. As happy as we are to help you, for your sake we would rather not have repeat customers. Goofy

1) Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates , or get into the habit of checking for Windows updates regularly. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

2) In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:

Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.

3) Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I also recommand the following add-ons for Firefox, they will help keep you safe from malicious scripts or activeX exploits.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

4) Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

To help you keep your software updated, please considering using this free software program that will check for program updates.
Update Checker

5) Finally, consider maintaining a firewall. Some good free firewalls are Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

Thank you so much for all the valuable information. I have gone through each one of your recommendations and downloaded some of these. I did run into a problem when, I believe updating windows. My screen is now blurry and pictures are not clear. It's like the screen appears to have tiny dots throughout. Do you think Internet Explorer 8 is not working for my computer? I really don't know what caused this.
