It works! Hallelujah... it works, and it is free. Thank you, geekpolice.net for bringing my nightmare to an end. After trying 5-6 removal downloads, your's is the first to work. Use it, share it, and get rid of System security. Never open mispelled messages on facebook. That is how this all started.

Help nothing above works ! ! I definately have this virus or malware.

I can't open any of the above devices

Just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my un-geeky heart.

My son picked up the worm this morning from Facebook, and I was lucky enough to stumble on your site tonight. Had to copy & paste your URL into the address bar, because the SS2009 was redirecting me all over the place when I tried to click on the Google links to sites that addressed it. I downloaded Malwarebytes, and it worked the first time. I'm going to pass your site on to everybody in my address book, and come pay-day, I'll click on your "help us" link. Thanks again. It's nice to not have to click off the false warnings every two minutes!!!!

Hi, I just got this System Security on my desktop (I am on my laptop right now), and it disables me from running any program, opening task manager, or opening a browser, although I can open a folder and go to a website through that. (I am running XP)

I tried to download Malwarebytes onto that computer but it won't let me run it. at one point it froze so I am trying to boot it up again but it doesn't completely. I get to a black screen and can only see my mouse arrow. I was going to do the hijackthis thing but I can't get on and I don't know if it would let me run it.

(Oh, I did safe mode and was able to run AVG but it didn't find anything).

UPDATE: Ok i can get on to the website now and go to download hijackthis, but I can't run it.

UPDATE 2: Now I just got the blue screen

Please download SilentRunners from here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip
Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on it. If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run. When the scan is finished, a message will pop up and a logfile will have been created on the desktop. Please post the entire contents of this logfile for me to see.

System Security has taken over and will not allow me to run any programs. Where does it hide so that I can manualy delete it?

Not sure where my other reply went about where I am at now. Anyways I can use programs and internet (on firefox, havent figured out how to get IE to work again yet), except nothing happens when I try to run hijackthis or malwarebytes. So I have now tried Silent Runners. Not sure how long that is suppose to take.

I have done lots of scans with Adaware, AVG and now Microsofts malicious something or other removal tool. But it seems the trojans are not being removed. I am no longer receiving nasty pop ups or wallpapers, I have gotten past the black screen, and can run programs and internet. I just cant run the two I mentioned and I can't use search engines, they just go blank. So I hope I can get you some information soon.

Thanks for your help, hope to get back to you soon.

Your post is still there, just up a little.
Anyway, we have found a way to beat this, I've found a hole in this that I can use and kill it.

Please open a topic in the malware removal area, and I'll help you there.

I have this virus on my comp... it blocks all programs, task manager and whatever else i try to run such as firefox. I have tried to run anivirus from boot mini windows... nothing works... help plz

I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO U BRO!!! I GOT RID OF THAT SYSTEM SECURITY VIRUS 2 QUICK. THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!

Can only access the infected computer from Safe Mode which does not give full access to the internet even when that option is used. So, I need a local, manual program to use to remove System Secuiity, which came in by the way by posing as a Windows Secuirty Update, any recomendations?

Hello christinenj,

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking. There will be internet access from there.

As I said in my original comments, Safe Mode even with internet option, is hijacked - do not have full use. Therefore, virus does not allow launch of antisypware exec files. Interrupts them, gives error that system administrator has placed controls, etc.

I have isolated the hidden files. Other sites say to change the file extensions from exe using the rename option. However, the virus files I have do not have any extensions in their name. When show properties, it says exec in the Type inforamtion.l

I am guessing that I need to get into view properties, click security, click advanced and change the controls, but am not sure to change to what. Any ideas?

Once I can neutralize the virus, then I can run spyware to remove it.

Hi,
Sorry to bother. But, I have installed the Malwarebytes program.
I was wondering am I supposed to keep scanning because I have scanned and rebooted 2348356734580 gajillion times. For instance last night, I had 73 infected objects. Then after 5 rebootings or so I had 35.
Today again after much rebooting I have 18.
Now, I have not gone anywhere from there. It is driving me nuts >>;
I really need help Dx I am getting blamed for this problem at home T__T

I've downloaded the removal program, but it will not open or launch. I've tried several times to uninstall & re-install. HELP!

I can't even get on the internet from my laptop (which has the stupid System Security) so I'm having to find out what to do via my desktop. What do you do if you can't download the antimalware from the internet?

how to delete devinitivamente this problem because I have to scan all day to remove it. Thank you

i've tried everything.. even the safe mode thing and nothing. i keep on getting my attemps turned off by this damn thing... when i run malwarebytes on safe mode, an error dialog box comes up saying that an error ccurred.... Error code: 732 (0,0).
I've wasted $150 on different anti-virus software, as well as 7 days trying to get rid of it to no avail...
please help!

My Windows XP computer is infected with System Security. I can't boot in Safe Mode [it puts me in a continuous start-up loop.] It has killed all .exe files so I can't run or download any programs I can't open Task Manager or System Restore. It won't let me open RegEdit. It appears to be in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\19470004\19470004.exe but I can't delete it because the file is in use.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I just made HUGE progress! I downloaded HijackThis to a thumb drive and was able to run it on the infected computer. I viewed processes with it and stopped System Security. I am now cleaning using Spybot Search and Destroy, SpyBlaster, Ad-Aware, Windows Defender, and McAfee. I will let you know how I come out. HIJACKTHIS IS A GOD!!!!!

Thank you on this great article. The problem is that on my pc (Windows XP 2001) is that I have no internet acsess cause of the virus. The weird thing is that I have internet acsess on my laptop on PS3. nȯne of my desktop items work. I'm very frustrated with this problem. So now I shut it down and when I try to get it back on a black screen comes up saying that I need to log in normally or in safe mode. I'm like ok so I try to get on safe mode but when I click it, it says something about it can't start up blah blah blah. So now I have two problems on my hands and I have decided to talk to the pros about this. Thanks! -Trytodie

when i try to install and run the malware bytes in safe mode i get an hour glass like its going to load and then nothing happens - i have renamed the file and still doesnt work

I am unable to access any programs as well. It keeps sending me to a website: http://platinum-antivir.com/purchase?r=57.15 and everything is supposedly infected: taskmgr.exe, mmc.exe, rundll32.ex, etc are infected. It keeps asking if I want to activate my antivirus software now. Help please. I'm on my desktop but the infection is on my laptop.
