Once you see the "start" button come up immediately click on it then click run. Enter "taskmgr" in the box and hit "enter". This will get your task manager up so you can kill the main processes for these "antivirus" programs. Since there are different variations of the processes ( I got hit with a variation of Antivirus System Pro, the main processes were "xtxnsysguard.exe" and a process that was just numbers) you will have to figure out which processes you have kill. Once you kill the main processes in task manager you will be able to continue removal without hindrance.

However, I still am receiving the message on command prompt that pslist is not recognized as internal/external file... etc... I have not seen an answer to this issue that others had as well - what is the answer? Thanks.

While its obvious that my desktop has problems, it was not obvious that my laptop did. I ran the spyhunter on both and found out that i have malware. If I purchase the spyhunter for 29 euros, can I use it on both? They are running on the same router, but are not connected via LAN. Thanks in advance for any info. Oh, and THANK YOU for giving me my task administrator back on the desktop!!!!!! I have a quick question. While its obvious that my desktop has problems, it was not obvious that my laptop did.

I dont want to pay to uninstall it but i dont understand how to do the manual uninstall people provided. If someone can give me an easy guide to eradicate this scumware i would appreciate it very much.
