My sister had that and phoned me when she couldnt use any program other than Internet Explorer.

What a pain once she got there.. simple if i was there, but i remotely fix computers... and if she cant start a share program .. it certainly was a painful experience for me to talk her thru this computer stuff over the phone long distance. Just to get her to the point of stick the usb memory stick in any usb slot.

Here is another delightful little message box that popped up on start-up to-day.

Windows cannot find c:\windows\system32\igfxtry.exe

I tried doing a search to see what this one was all about but the "Windows Internet Security 2012" blocked the search!!

Any ideas about this other gem?
Thanks again.

Thank you both for your replies to my problem.
At the present time I am not that confident with my computer skills, to use the fix that you graciously supplied Owbist and will hold on to your linked information for now.
I did post the problem into the LanzDownForum, as suggested by Ravencajun, along with the requested logs, Etc.
As I stated before my computer skills are not great and because of my nervousness about screwing things up worse than they already are, I may have to call in an "expert" to assist me with all of this.

I do however appreciate both of you taking the time to help me out with this problem and the advice that you kindly give.
Onward and upward!

You can do it, many have thought the same but were successful with the expert guidance of the lzd team. Just take your time and ask questions if you need to.

As Raven notes, you can do this. As the help is offered simply read one line at a time and follow along. DO NOT read the whole thing and decide it cannot be done, one line at a time and steady as she goes. Move away if you feel overwhelmed and have a coffee or smoke, which ever acts to calm the nerves then return.

No. As far as I know it comes bundled with rootkits and spyware modules. This means cyber crooks can steal certain info, usually account/password and credit card details. Other information is considered junk. You should remove Win 7 Internet Security 2012 malware before using your PC. Below is a link to detailed removal guide. Very important: use TDSSKiller to remove rootkits; otherwise this malware will be re-downloaded. Kudos!

Stivimi, thank you for your interest and linked information.

At the present time I am going through the process of, hopefully, clearing that menace from my computer at the LanzDown site, which was suggested to me by Ravencajun.
They are a wonderful bunch of people over there, who give their time up voluntarily to assist folks such as myself, in dealing with these malicious intrusions which have sneaked into our computers.

Hopefully we will see a positive result soon.

Ravencajun, Owbist and Stivimi, thank you all for your direction and encouragement, when things went awry and I was well in over my head and in great need of assistance.

Corrine, (Mystical Rose)(Mystical indeed!) over at the LanzDown computer forum, brought me through a maze of scans and checks that I would have never have had the first idea about,all of which,cleared up the intrusion into my computer, by that disabling Win 7 Internet Security 2012 malware.

You are all special people for sure, for giving the assistance you all do....Thank you all again,
Horton.

Good to read that it all turned out well.

I followed your progress at Lzd and was happy to see you stuck with it and completed the clean up. Good for you!

It is always best to go the route of help forum that way you can know exactly what you are doing and why and make sure it is all gone! Especially with these nasty ones that have rootkits involved.
