Can't get rid of Total XP Security Virus - Please Advise? Currently running Onecare security suite.

Please see How to remove Total Security (Uninstall Guide) at BleepingComputer.comBoulder Computer Maven Microsoft Most Valuable Professional

Maybe you can follow the instructions but it is way beyond the average user. So you are telling me that the Onecare package can not detect and/or fix the problem. And neither can the Microsoft Essentials software?

Unfortunately, the criminals who create rogue security programs like that one use techniques that prevent antivirus programs from detecting and removing them. If you don't think that you can follow the removal instructions, I recommend getting specialized help in the malware removal forum at Aumha or BleepingComputer.com , having a competent local computer consultant help you, or calling 1-866-PC Safety for Microsoft's free virus and spyware removal support.
