I was infected with the koobface virus!

I was infected with the koobface virus! at the point where I don't have an anti viruse protection on my computer, I need to know if someone can help me to get rid of it I got a viruse called pareto logic anti and run scans all since the scan picks up the virus, but for some reason it cannot clean what should I do? I really need help and would appreciate it so much if someone could help me or point me at least it the right direction...

Hello

Here's what I use and recommend:

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

Prevx - Home - free

Windows Firewall

Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

Protected IE - mode

IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
(Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

I hope this helps.

    Hello

    Its looks like you have one of these fake antivirus programs - carry a name or you point to
    Some Web sites? If so we can probably provide directed support deletion.

    Where is security tool or other malicious software similar.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to
    detect malware is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. If its
    better to be too full now than to pay the price much later. Check with these extreme
    Overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    Security tool (and SecurityTool) is a fake antivirus, a scam to force you to pay for it while it
