I have a nasty virus, Cyber Security, the bogus virus checker which is very pervasive and disruptive. Can you help to remove?

Generally most decent spyware remover are capable of removing rogues, such as Cyber Security. Some of the free ones are Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and Spyware Doctor (at pack.google.com). You might, however have problems installing these programs, in which case you can try a few things: 1) download on a different PC and install from a flash drive; 2) rename the setup file before installing. If neither of these methods works you can try googling the mechanism how Cyber Security blocks security programs, but I doubt you will have much luck with this, cause there are so many of these scams.

There are also plenty of instructions for manual removal available online, which provide the list of files and registry entries of Cyber Security. Here are a few:

First of all, try to remove this infection manually. Detailed removal guide:

If that won't help, download MalwareBytes anti-malware or SuperAntispyware and scan your PC. Boot your PC in safe mode if the bogus software will block those programs in normal.

Most of the Cyber Security infections that I have come across also have rootkits hidden in the system as well. Try to clean it with Dr. Web free. It has worked for me in the past to get rid of these.
