Try this as soon as u log in your run task manager find it under processes. it will be the one with the biggest number of memory usage end its process!! (u have about 10sec--do it with great haste. Because it will terminate task manager. if don't do it fast enough log off and log back in) OR
IT DOES however, LET U OPEN UP YOUR MY COMPUTER (ATLEAST For ME ANYWAYS) RUN A SEARCH FOR SYSTEM SECURITY WHEN U FIND IT
RELEASE ALL HECK ON IT AND DELETE THE CRAP OUT OF IT. (this worked for me anyways)
GUARANTEED TO WORK USE THIS LINK WORKED FOR 5 HOURS STRAIGHT TO GET RID OF THIS MALWARE!!!!

i used stubware (Google it) and it worked very well, it took a total of 20 mins (mostly because i didn't know what to do), but it scans your virus' and than you can choose to fix all suspicious virus', once u do that, it will want u to restart your computer (do it), and when your computer returns to your main page it should be gone! Really easy!
You need to run these 3 essential programs to remove all the spyware on your computer.
If you do not have an internet security suite and only an anti virus
1. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
2. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!
3. Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot or Superantispyware

Install a good antivirus in your computer.
Keep your antivirus updated. If automatic updates are available, configure your antivirus to use them.
Keep your permanent antivirus protection enabled at all times.
Best thing to do is boot from disc and wipe your computer. You can get rid of it but if it has been on your computer for a certain amount of time it will grow stronger. I hadnt paid much attention to one on my computer and it locked me out. Try using Malwarebyte's scanner. and go to download.com and Search for rogueremover. those are your best bets atm.
good luck.
if that doesnt work you should back up anything important and wipe.
Ok. This is how I got rid of mine...
1.) Click the start button on the bottom left corner.
2.) Double click computer.
3.) You should see your hard drives. Double click the C drive. It should have something like---> OS (C:) So, click on that.
4.) Some files should come up. Double click where it says Users.
5.) Double click where it has the username with the Security Tool virus.
6.) It should have a file that says AppData.(I'm not sure if it's different for some people) Then, click that ONCE, RIGHT click, and click delete!
It should be in your recycling bin now so, delete it from there. And... It should be gone!
This MIGHT not work for some people but, hopefully it will.
Your welcome,

Two programs I rely on heavily are:
Spybot Search & Destroy
and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
Answer:
A great combination that has worked for me is MacAfee and Windows Defender, if one misses a virus the other will catch it.
1. Press ctrl+shift+esc right after boot.
2. Look for garbage processes under task manager and kill them. Like ewtweotiwet.exe.
3. Go into IE (for FF it is similar), Tools->Internet Options->Connection->Lan settings and remove proxy checkbox.
4. On Vista/7 run Start Then enter notepad in search box, do not press enter. Rightclick once found, then choose run as administrator. On XP, launch it normaly.
5. Open this file : C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts and empty it.
6. (Optional) Open in IE Tools->Add-Ons and remove everything that is from companies you do not know.
Now you should be able to browse and download software. Google the processes killed in 2nd step. If they are not listed as good, search for them on the disk and delete them. If you can't, Just download malwarebytes or Spyware doctor and they should do that stuff for you.
If you cant launch the software, start them from within task manager. (New process, and enter full path to executable).
