Please help me get rid of "System Security", a rogue spyware program. I will not bother to describe this malware because there is already a detailed description posted to the Malware spyware removal guide forum (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-re...ystem-security).
I have read the post about getting rid of this, and I've downloaded Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) software and run it twice and it does not get rid of it. Each time I run MBAM, it identifies the rogue software, but even when I try to remove it, it's still there! I have also run Avast! and Troja Remover--nothing works! Here is my DDS log (I'm attaching the "attach" file unzipped because it's so small):

  • Notepad will open with the results, click no to the Optional_Scan
  • Follow the instructions that pop up for posting the results.
  • Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.
Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run.
