How to remove Windows 8 Security System?

Windows 8 Security System Virus is the fresh rogue released in the end of August 2012. It is quite similar to Windows Ultra Antivirus.. In fact, we think that current rogue is the production version of the old one, as the first one was not distributed widely and was not finished yet. Window 8 Security System Virus is extremely aggressive and hard to remove.





 The virus implies bewildering techniques to catch the potential victims. Since this badware normally changes your Registry, it is launched with each computer startup. This means the infection is initiated along with the regular Windows processes that are essential for your system to run properly. When this infection is operating the victim is being bombarded with multiple-pop-up ads – tons of them during certain intervals of time.

Windows 8 Security System will display lots of fake alerts and messages and will show a scan window on each system boot. It will display lots of detections, though it is quite obvious these are fake. For example, its detections include mobile phone parasites that can not affect PC. Windows 8 Security System alerts look like this
Threat detected!
Security Alert! Your computer was found to be infected with privacy-threatening software. Private data may get stolen and system damage may be severe.
Recover your PC from the infection right now, perform a security scan.
However, it is not as easy to remove Windows 8 Security System. For protecting its files, it comes with rootkit. Additionally, it will prevent browsers to download software in the normal operation mode. We devised a way to completely eliminate this parasite, though.

1. Reboot, press F8. Choose safe mode with networking. The rogue should not start in it, but rootkit will be active.
2. Download : TDSS Killer ( http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe AND Spyhunter : Here or other anti-malware of your choice.
3. run MSConfig. Disable all startup entries you aren’t sure about.
4. Run TDSS Killer (you might reboot into normal mode for running it) and delete detected randomly named string like 232523t62362365.sys. This will be Windows 8 Security System rootkit file You will have to reboot.
5. Now it is time to install and run Spyhunter. Delete detected Windows 8 Security System items, you might wish to scan with other anti-malware programs and registry cleaner too.
