XP Security Tool problem

Unread postby bourbonstreet » April 2nd, 2010, 11:24 pm

Hello,
My home computer has recently been infected by XP Security Tool. I am not very computer savy, but I did some reading on the problem and was advised to use malwarebytes to remove the XP Security Tools. After running the scan I followed the instructions and removed the infected items, but the next day I got the same XP Sec. pop-ups.
Any help that I may receive would be appreciated.

Due to lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
