I got rid of it within a few hours by restarting my computer and while it was reloading i quickly jumped into the task manager and stopped the process by clicking on the number. I also stopped any process associated with the name or number above. Then I found the program and deleted it using Programs from the start menu. good luck. this could bring a grown man to tears I encountered security tool 59723026.

The rest of the install progresses as intended, and when the user clicks on the desktop icon for Malwarebytes, it says that it cannot find the required file "mbam.exe". What I have said assumes that you have got as far as disabling the Security-Tool virus long enough to get a web session going (as per the instructions from Frank at the very top of this page) so that you can download the Malwarebytes installer exe. If you have gotten this far, then you need to go to a Windows PC that is already running Malwarebytes, copy mbam.exe from there (i.e. from wherever you installed it on that other PC), copy it to the infected PC, and then click on the Desktop icon for Malwarebytes on the infected PC. WARNING: when moving files from the good PC to the infected PC, make sure that the USB disk you use (or whatever type of storage medium) isn't already infected with some trojan. This, of course, is a bit of a catch-22 scenario, because you need to be able to scan the USB disk, but from where? Hopefully you have one virus-free PC (the one with the good copy of Malwarebytes) and you should scan your USB disk from there. It is better, of course, if you have a Mac and you can insert the USB there and have your Mac use its virus checking software or, if you don't have a virus checker on the Mac (and you should), then just search for suspicious files named "autorun.exe" which will try to run the minute you insert the USB in a PC USB port. Once you get Malwarebytes running on the infected PC and it finds many infections (20+), remove them, turn the PC off completely when the first scan is done, restart the PC and run Malwarebytes again. You might have to run it a number of times to fully clean out the infected PC.
