Internet Security 2012 Virus Attacked My Toshiba Laptop. How Do I Remove It?

   It is a well known virus, the best site for help on this and similar is Bleeping Computer. This link takes you there, http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-re… You can join the forum (free) if you wish or just download and print the instructions.

   Try going onto task manager:
   Ctrl + Alt + Del
   Then click processes
   then try and find the name of the process…. Look for something unusual, like the name of the window that is running. Then click end process and it should go away but be careful! If you delete a system process you may force your computer to fail and may cause some permanent damage.
   Alternatively you could take your ethernet cable out, as with your connection to the internet gone, there is no way the virus can be controlled by the owner. Then run your anti virus and hopefully clear it from your system.
   if this still doesn’t work then i recommend that you take it to a computer repair shop and get them to remove it. I had about 8 trojans on mine and it cost about £10 to remove them all. (They don’t charge per virus…..)
   Hope this helps and good luck!

   You say that you ran taskkill.exe and it did not work. Actually, if you run this command several times it will succeed and the process of this fake anti-virus will be terminated. Then you will be able to remove the malware. In fact, I think that Malwarebytes is the great and free program that can remove this virus free of charge. You will not need to purchase any license of it. Please read carefully how exactly to apply taskkill.exe command below.

   Sounds like a bad virus. You need to be pretty advanced at computers to remove the virus, I removed one recently but to be honest your better off backing up your files(documents, photos, music etc) to a hard drive, reinstalling the PC, performing a full scan on your backed up files and then coping them back onto your PC.
   Otherwise to clean the virus without reinstalling O/S try
   1. Download these programs tdsskiller, rkill.com, mbam-setup-1.51.2.1300.exe or the latest versions.
   2. Boot to safe mode and turn off system restore (on your PC)
   3. Run these programs and remove anything they find
   4. Download and install microsoft security essentials or AVG or any other anti-virus and perform a full scan
   Hope this helps but if not reinstall O/S

   In order to kill your virus process and disable Internet Security 2012, click Start->Run, then taskkill.exe /F /IM isecurity.exe (isecurity.exe is name of malware process, it might also be other names, defender.exe or privacy.exe). In addition, you can also try rebooting to safe mode with networking first before running a full system scan.

   Running Microsoft’s monthly update to remove ad-ware-spyware etc actually removes this. You should receive this update every month from Microsoft. Try searching for it on their website.
