Default problem with malicious software removal tool

Have it downloaded on the computer. When I try to run it, it won't let me.
It keeps shutting off the automatic updates so I can't run the program. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Default problem with malicious software removal tool

Hello Lori,


Suggest you scan the system for the pяesence of Vundo (aka Virtumonde).

It seems possible that your Windows installation has been deliberately
damaged by a trojan (Vundo, along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all
protected by a rootkit.)) so as to prevent you updating your system or
removing the trojan.

A very good antimalwaяe app is SUPERAntiSpyware.
There is a free version (on demand scanning only)

Try яunning Malwarebytes Anti-Malware... download, update, and perform a
full system scan:
