My PC got infected with XP 2012 antivirus security.
This website guided me thru how to remove it.
I followed the instructions,
run FixNCR, Rkill, then run MBAM. MBAM will run for few minutes and while scanning shows that 4 objects were found and suddenly reboot the PC. I simply cannot get past initial few minutes to complete the MBAM scan. Can someone help? Please?
