• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Security Central - HELP

Not 100% sure how I picked this one up but it's absolutely crippled my computer. I cannot open any program, nor can I access windows explorer or even the task manager. Internet Explorer is the only program that appears to be functioning. The program that's taken over is called Security Central and constantly flashes popups or bubbles in the bottom right corner telling me about non-existent threats and problems. I've checked around several sites and all have suggested running Malwarebytes to fix the problem. I managed to do so in safe mode (along with Windows Defender) but both programs were unable to detect any problems. Could someone please help me out?
 
Hi,

Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
Post the contents of log.txt (Will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com)
Note: If the window shows a message that says Error deleting file, please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
