So How do I remove Your System is infected error message?
Option 1. The exact removal process will vary depending on what virus and fake security client you have installed. If you are a novice at computers then we recommend having a pro remove this for you. http://www.pcninja.com is a remote computer repair company that charges a very modest fee to remove all viruses and spyware.
Option 2: Use a well known security client to remove your current virus. We use SpyHunter in all our removal guide videos. The problem here is you MAY NOT BE ABLE to install this client or even update it. That is why you should just download the free trial first and then update the client. If you can run the software you should just register the client and go that way. If you can not run or install any security client then reffer to the first option or option 3.
Option 3: This is the whole reaons this site is here! We have hundreds of expert written manual removal guides and EVEN VIDEO'S showing you how to manually remove threats. Many of our expert virus guides and videos have been re-printed on thousands of websites. Just do a search for the fake security client that is installed on your system above and read the manual removal guide. It should at the very least provide great insight into what is going on.
If you can not find any removal guide for the threat you have on your computer then please send us a request for one to be written. We try to stay on top of all new threats out there but there are some we may not know about yet.
