* System Security * I've got it bad...nothing will open!

1. Download the zip to your desktop and extract it.
   
2. Open the Ice Sword folder and then launch IceSword.exe.
   
3. Then look in the left hand bottom of the program and press "Registry"
   
4. When the registry list opens, drag the line between the two windows so you can see which registry hive you need.
   
5. Next, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and navigate to the following key:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
   
   
6. Now look in the right side pane for two run values that are just random numbers.
   
7. Once you have found the value(s), right click it and press "Delete"
   
8. Okay the prompt and close IceSword.
   

• Please download IceSword from here, I unzipped it so you should only get the .exe file:

• Once the file has downloaded, see if you can do the above instructions.

I have the System Security 2009 spyware/virus on my computer. I have tried everything on this forum and then some and still can't get rid of it. NOTHING will work. Everything I try to open doesn't work. I even tried HiJack this...didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Lets try something in safe mode shall we:


Can you do the following in Safe Mode with Networking, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode with Networking" and press your Enter key.

Note: With some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.) Once in the start up menu, select "Safe Mode with Networking", then do the following instructions:
