The strategy is not bad, but you can cancel some useful processes this way. Look at the manual removal guide, instead of killing random processes.

Hi Dale,

I had the exact same problem: I couldn’t execute applications, so I couldn’t remove the virus. However I still managed to get rid of the virus. Here is what I did:
After booting it takes some time for the virus to load. During this brief time, 20-30 seconds at most, you can open up the task magager. I started quitting random processes, and probably managed to hit the process that handles starting applications when Windows loads, so the virus didn’t load. Then I could open up my filemanager from the task manager and I was ready to remove the virus files from the computer.
I hope this helps.

Zoltán

Hello there,
What about manual removal in a normal mode?

Infected with the System Security virus/trojan. I cannot boot into safemode, it will go
into a blue screen dump. Like others, I cannot run any programs, ie. taskmgr, notepad,
etc. Tried to install the removal tools on a pen drive, but cannot run them. So how can I edit the files listed in your instructions to stop the System Security
programs?

Thanks,
Dale
