I am infected with a version of TrojanWin32-FakeRean which goes under the
name of Security Central and after scanning the computer requires the user to
sign up to the security service offered for $59 per year. I have attempted to
down load removal software but it will not allow any .exe file to open hence
the removal software cannot be installed and in fact no .exe file can be
opened apart from IE to enable signup. Any body with any suggestions please?

Not new. Old trick just a new variant.

Have you tried Safe Mode ?

Have you tried renaming/copying .EXE files to .COM ?

hello,

you can try super anti spyware free edition free edition free ware in safe
mode boot pc up and before windows screen keep hitting f8 and then pick safe
mode. if doesn't work before installing virus or spyware software right
click on file and rename it to blablabl.exe and you may trick the bad file
into letting you install it.
