How can I remove security tool software from my computer please let me know ASAP
I appreciate the work and research that went into this possible fix, and I thank you who have published it for my benefit. Seeing no comments posted, I have to buck-up and make an attempt at purging total security from my computer-box without encouragement from others who succeeded before me. I bought my computer-box for fifty dollars at a garage sale,so I am reluctant to spend more money to keep it tuned up. I am relatively inexperienced and uneducated with the intricacies of programs and such, but have had success with other more minor glitches. My next posting will be a report of my experience in attempting to innitiate purge. Wish me luck!

Hello,
Have tried all this, downloaded the SpyHunter software to a different computer but when trying to open on the infected computer, was not able to. The TS has literally taken over the computer. Tried in the safe mode as well but was not able to get to the internet. The spyhunter is telling me it can\’t access the internet, install manually. That option is not a choice.
I have downloaded and run this specifically to remover Total Security but it has failed to remove it. Can you help please?
My problem with the evil total security is that it block any program to run. I tried all kind of anti- program, and it always gave me the message saying the program is infected. Besides the manual method, any other suggestion?
Thanks.
My name is maria hardy and i just got total security but i dont know wats my activation key
This “thing” appeared quite ferociously last evening, and has been persistent, and as a matter of fact, has prevented some functions ,i.e. printing and accessing the control panel of my computer from operating and my gaining access. THIS IS RIDICULOUS11111 I knew when I saw it that it was a scam…….. thanks for reconfirming my suspicions.

How do I get rid of this annoying “Total Security” scam?????????
can you tell me where to find the people who wrote total security. I am going to find them and kill everyone involved.
This virus, infected on 23.08.09, immediately killed any *.exe file I tried to run. I tried antimalwarebytes from a USB drive but was told that I could not access that drive. Task manager had been “disabled by the administrator”. I was unable to go to a previous restore point (XP SP3). The virus had walked straight through CA Vet Anti-Virus and PC Tools Spyware Doctor. All I could do was to format C: and reinstall XP. I kept the minimum on C: to avoid data loss but it appears that M$ has a policy that requires programmers to store data on C: so I lost a lot.
I have purchased SpyHunter3 specifically to remove Total Security and I have run the scan a number of times but Total Security is still on my computer. Can you help?
WONDER WHO SELL MORE VIRUS PROGRAMS, IF SOMEONE DOES GET IT ON THEIR COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the instructions for removing total security seem outdated. total security is blocking EVERYTHING im trying to do. i cant download anything, and my system cant find the files that you have listed.
There have been multiple cases of Total Security 2009 blocking any attempt to exterminate it. The rogue can disable Task Manager, prevent .exe files from opening and running (so you can’t use antivirus programs), block Safe Mode. Therefore, we’d like to provide a fairly simple way to bypass some of these trickeries of Total Security 2009.
Step 1. Open My Computer – Go to “C†drive.
Step 2. Open “Windows†folder
Step 3. In “Windowsâ€, Locate and open up System32 folder
Step 4. Find a file named “taskmgr†– RENAME it “iexploreâ€
Step 5. Double-click the renamed file – it will bring up the Task Manager.
Step 6. Among Task Manager processes, locate Total Security 2009 process – it’s usually a numbered executable like 65489463.exe. CLICK on that process and close it. It will disable Total Security 2009 for a while
Step 7. While Total Security 2009 is temporarily down, install our automatic remover (push one of the links in the post above). Let the removal tool detect and remove Total Security 2009 pest.
It should work!
Total Secuirty was downloaded in error on my computer. They falsely stated that I had several viruses.
It has embedded itse,f on my computer. I can no longer access my add/delete programs, I cannot open any of the files in “my documents and cannot access word, excel or powerpoint until I give in and purchas etheir software
Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
