How to remove Live Security Professional. (Rogue)

Alright, this post will be about a rogue antivirus. This type of malware often appears on your computer claiming that your computer is infected with malware. It then demands money for the removal of the non existent malware.

Like most other rogues, this rogue blocks program execution which will defeat quite a few attempts to remove it in normal windows mode. This is why the removal guide below is necessary.

Step #1: Reboot your computer into safe mode with networking. This can be done by turning off the computer, then pressing the button to turn it on again. Immediately after you press the button to turn it on, repeatedly press the F8 key on your keyboard.

Step #2: Once you reach a menu that gives you options such as Safe Mode, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select Safe Mode With Networking, then press enter.

Step #3: To make sure that the rogue will not interfere with removal, we must run Rkill. Download iExplore.exe here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/

Step #4: Run the downloaded executable. It will open a black box, this is normal. Once the black box has closed on its own, proceed to step 5

Step #5: Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/

Step #6: Run the downloaded installer and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Step #7: Once the program is installed, it will automatically open a window. Once this window is open, click Perform Full Scan, and then click the scan button.

Step #8: As this scan will take some time, I suggest you do something else while remaining in close proximity to the computer so you can check on the scan every once in a while. Once the scan is complete, proceed to step 9

Step #9: When the scan is complete, it will open a message box. Click OK, and then click show results.

Step #10: Click Remove Selected. If Malwarebytes prompts you to restart your computer, please allow it to do so.

Step #11: Enjoy your computer which should now be free of Live Security Professional.
