Removal of malicious software called AMC
There is an application that covered on a video Viewer that I foolishly allowed to update himself called CMA or Advanced Mac Cleaner who vomits constantly pop up ads that I don't want. Do not make legal observations on their product or their company. I just don't want to and I don't want their ads and their marketing strategy is, to say the least, rancid.
I am unable to "trash" the application of the CMA. The system tells me that it cannot be deleted because it is open.
See also this thread which, for some reason, I couldn't post in.
First try

How to remove the malicious software that is causing the pop up ads "to go around the web"? These pop ups appear on almost every page I open and I have bad non-kid-friendly images? Instructions from Apple to remove the malware have not removed despite them a number of times.
Click here and follow the instructions. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.
MalwareBytes is a removal tool and does not stop adware or other malware from entering the computer. It should not be invoked to prevent future incidents; Instead, avoid downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites.

Unable to connect to a network in the House after the removal of malicious software.
I had a malware, got rid of him by running anti-malware in safe mode and now I can't connect to the network in the House when windows is running normally. I have access to the internet.

Cannot remove malicious software toolbars
My husband has foolishly agreed all downloads and now there malicious software toolbars. I tried everything I could find to remove them, but can't get rid of them. They don't show up under control panel - uninstall Firefox - Addons or Firefox - Extensions. I searched my hard drive for files that support pages told me to pick up, but none of them are there.
I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with Firefox 37.0.2. I tried:
1: execution of malware, viruses, spyware, adware programs etc. Nothing found. Here's what I ran:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware free
SuperAntispyware Portable Scanner
Microsoft safety scanner
Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
AdwCleaner
SpyHunter
Hitman Pro2: I have reset firefox.
3: I ran Adblock, NoScript and started Firefox in Mode safe. No help.
4: I did a search here and did all the steps in each section. None of the permits.
I tried so many things that I can't even remember all. I've attached a screen capture, smart toolbars.
Can anyone help?

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool vs Malwarebyte Anti-Malware
Explain the difference/other services/conflicts between Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and Malwarebyte Anti-Malware.
I currently use Anti-Malware in conjunctgion with KIS 2012.
Hi RW,.
Not precisely. I say that the Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate, and I don't know any others that provide better protection (but others may have more options of configuration or bells and whistles, some will offer essentially equivalent protection, and some are not as good as Windows Firewall). Of course, some will say that there are some firewalls that are better than the Windows Firewall, but is no longer a subject of debate and discussion than anything I saw firmly and convincingly demonstrated. And we know that the Windows Firewall works properly with Windows and other Microsoft products and has great support. And I never heard of software conflicting with the Windows Firewall, I heard things regarding 3rd party brands - involving mainly browsers, e-mail programs and security as well as configurations of network programs (not just internet, but internal intranet, you can have in your home using cables (, wireless routers/modems, infrared devices, bluetooth, remote deskop (internal or external) devices if used parental controls, interfaces with the security at home and/or surveillance systems wireless devices such as printers or scanners or fax machines and other similar things).
Remember, without a firewall your computer give to anyone trying to access the system through any network or remote connection via the ports. There are several ports, most average users never need. The firewall blocks essentially all ports except those that are specifically excluded. That's where you come in. Each has a default list of excluded ports. You must go through this list and remove all exclusions that you know you don't need (and be sure you KNOW what you have blocked before deleting the exclusion). Each exclusion represent a hole in your security that an attacker could have access. The less the better. When I came through the list, I probably cut just a little less than 50% of registrants - but I cut some I used but rarely I would have rather the firewall blocks and make the extra effort to unblock port temporarily the few times that I need to leave open at all times. Although for Vista, this article will help you understand the basic concepts of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Firewall-frequently-asked-questions. Attention to the last on the list because it provides links to other articles where you can get better and more information that can help you to choose and decide.
I'm not going to argue here, since you have already the product and more. This isn't what I would have chosen, but it is probably one of the best on the market suites and much, much better than some other choice, you could have done. According to me, that it will probably do the job. Quite simply, I don't know how good it is the Firewall works because I've never used this before then. It may in fact be just as good and offer more features, or may not provide the same level of protection or cause any problems or conflicts with other programs or with your network (depending on how you setup). I do not know. You bought the suite because you wanted more features than just anti-virus protection.
I think you can guess what I personally would do, but I can't advise you on what to do here - it's your software, your computer and your decision to make. Don't forget that you can always disable the firewall in KIS and activate Windows Firewall (or the reverse), once you choose. This comment in my post was directed at all the recipients and I didn't change it to you specifically - I mean not that it appear as more accurately you invites to spend now that you have already bought another product. I was trying to say to people in general, he was no need to spend money on a separate firewall when the Windows Firewall has been excellent and would do the job perfectly well. However, Windows Defender does NOT provide adequate and afflicted an antivirus program protection must be added (that may or may not turn off defender during the installation) to be sure.
In short, the decision is yours to make.
I hope this helps clarify things.
Good luck and best wishes!

Hello
The last 3 months when the download and installation of my updates for Windows Vista, it gets stuck for hours on the malicious software removal tool. I have to cancel it. Restart the computer and reinstall. Then he moved very well and quickly according to historical updates. Last month, it was really difficult to cancell it well. He finally got through it. Here is a little history on my machine. I'm very very well with this computer. Each week, I do disk Cleanup, then defrag with diskeeper, virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials. And every six months, I run a very large disk check and I said to correct errors and try to fix bad sectors. More than 3 years, I only had 2 minor bluescreens. I always make sure I have all my products Microsoft put updated. When I first got this computer I had a guy I.T. (a neighbor) out of the box and clean all the useless garbage out of it and it partitioned the hard drive. More than 3 years, he managed as a champion. Always very fast and all.
I hope that I'm not the only person having problems with this. Just start with the month of June, then July, then August.
P.S. I have 2 laptops running XP sp3, one is 9 years old and the other is 11 years old, he had 2000 top PRO, but I just put XP sp3 on it last month. They run too much like fields. I take good care of my computers with a little help from my friend IT. They have the same programs as this one and I do the same things to them, but they do not have this same problem with the release of the MSRT tool. Which leads me to think that it is specific to Vista only, I have a Windows 7 computer yet, so I can't speak for seven.
Any suggestions or ideas? We are scratching our heads on this one.
Thank you in advance for your time and help

When I turned on the PC, my screen would go black. I turn off the monitor for a while, turn it back on. The screen would appear for a while then again black. After that 7 to 8 times to turn off the monitor, the screen would go black. This happens whenever I start the PC. After a restoration for a while before it started, the problem stopped.
