I give up trying to delete it, been trying for hours but nothing seems to want to work.
Everytime I start my computer a message Continually pops up: Windows security Essentails 2010 Is the title of the program.
It says:
Windows Security Essentials : Registry Hack

Restore Backup Registry To Avoid Premanent System Damage

Every time I try and close it a new window pops up and wont go away. When I click on the start menu it flashes for a second, then goes right back.

I managed to close the program by going to shutdown then cancelled it as soon as the program got closed.
I then ran Malwarebytes and did a full scan just after updating it, but it found nothing.

Here is the Hijackthis log:

Why does it say there are alot of files missing.

Update got a picture!

You don't do changes to the registry do you? I highly doubt this is a virus. But we'll see when someone comes to your thread from the hijack group.

I think it is. Sounds like a fake AV virus

It might be, theres no way of telling for sure on my part, but sometimes if you have a corrupted file on your computer you usually get a warning that comes up for you to fix it, or showing you that something is wrong with your computer.

Can you post a screenshot of this popup?

It is a virus or malware.
Update I used rkill as soon as I turned on my computer and I got this:

Nope can't do anything when it pops up. The only thing which works is shutdown via ctrl alt delete.

If it doesn't look like this then it it's likely a Rogue virus: http://gyazo.com/47aa8638c542cdd7a7d7d6e240ebad26.png

It's nothing like that, it's just a plain blank white page with the black writing I said earlier.

So your computer just freezes? run your computer in a clean boot and see what happens, also try running in safe mode, and see if it still pops up. Try a scan then as well

Another thing, do you know where you downloaded this Windows security essentials?

There is one part of the infection.

Refer to the thread below in order to clean your computer.

I never downloaded it... My computer doesn't freeze just this program things stops me from doing anything because I can't close or move it of the screen.
