I have Problem with my computer, it has a virus/malware/Trojan. Removing it would not be a problem, but for some reason it keeps reoccurring. Even though I have 3 virus protections and 1 spyware protection. Those being SpyHunter3,Nod32,AVG Free, and No-AdWatch. I have removed this trojan temporarily with malwarebytes’ Anti Malware. I knew this wouldn’t remove the problem, So i scanned with Nod32, and nothing was found. So i thought i was fine. Then Today It came back.
Some things that occur when i have this virus/malware/Trojan- I get fake spyware alerts asking me to purchase software. Fake Windows Security Alert. Icons on my desktop which are Privacy Protector, Error Cleaner, and Spyware & Malware Protection.
Please tell me how to remove this for good, and how to protect myself from this problem and all others that could occur.

I would run Malwarebytes in full scan again and report your findings to their forum section, -This has a lot of help for people in your situation . Or contact http://www.nicklockard.com for advice and removal

You’ve come to a Good Site, for questions and answers.
Sometime you have no other choice then to REFORMAT
If your files are corrupted and your OS Windows, is not working properly, then no choice, do a REFORMAT. You will need your restore cds that came with computer.
When you do a Reformat, you will loose everything ! Documents, music, and pictures. If you don’t know how to retrieve your importants documents, then I suggest to take your hard drives to a professional. They can save this for you for a nominal fee.
Good Luck

Remove SpyHunter because that used to be listed as rogue and hasn’t change since then, in other words, it’s crapware. Don’t believe me then check out the link and read the reviews.

When using Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, did you close all applications and windows before running the program? Try that way.
1. Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Del to bring up the task manager
2. Under the Process tab, put a check if it’s visible ‘Show processes from all users’
3. One by one, click on of these that are showing and ‘End Process’
