Hello, everytime I try to remove files secure from add/remove, it doesn’t give me the opportunity. I click on it, it ask me English, and then it tells me what file it’s going to remove it from. And the only option I have is to close no next. Can you help me.
Thank you,
Rudy

I got this trogan and could fix it so i hit a restore point and now my IE will not open some pages giving me a message saying internet expoler cannot open web page the URL and operation aborted, did the restore remove the spyware? or did i screw it up even more?

Using Task Manager to stop unwanted processes is only possible if it hasn’t been disabled by the malware/trojan in the first place.
Newer versions of unwanted adware get control of the start up options - disable Task Manager, set the desktop to a default which cannot be removed, and install popups from inside Windows itself.
All I get even when I use alt /control /delete is “Task Manager has been disabled by your Administrator”. So how do I fix that manually?

“End Task” is a nice suggestion, but I’d like to know which one on the list is “virus heat”. The name doesn’t appear, there are just combinations of letters, and I can’t be sure I will really try to stop IT, not some important running program.

I have the same issue as Sue. I can’t access the Task Manager. Not even when I log on as Administrator and in Safe mode.
So, has anybody figured out how to get around that?
The advice is much appriciated.

How do you get rid of the pop up that keeps appear from the task bar that say’s System Alert? saying that (System has detected a number of active spyware applications that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon to get rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date antispyware solution.
I have Norton Internet Security on my computer and I do not have a virus.

Go into control panel, Help and support center, “Task Manager” And look at number 1 under Microsoft Knowledge Base. And follow those intructions.
You can then close the Virus Heat Application.
Or just run Regeit HKEY_CURENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System and set the Value data to 0. If you can’t get it to show up after F3′ing it, just follow the path.

Hi I too am not sure of what to delete in the task manager, under the processes tab, there is a list of items under the “image name” none of which say the words: “Virus Heat” so if you could let me know which one it is that I delete, I would be ever so happy! Not to mention I would be able to get rid of the blastard popup!
By CIndy on May 12, 2008

I have Antivirus 2009 installed by someone who borrowed my laptop and now it won’t go away. I ended the process and deleted all visual evidence of it, yet EVERY time I open IE the first thing I see is “the webpage has been blocked by Antivirus 2009,Update to protect yourself.” How do I get this crap of my computer!?!?!!!!!
By Machine on Jul 8, 2008
