How can I remove Vista security from my computer?
Vista security is giving me about 5 popup’s every few minutes and it’s really annoying. It keeps insisting I have all these virus’s but it won’t do anything unless I pay and stuff like that. I have McAfee, ran it several times, and it said my computer is fine. Basically I want to get rid of Vista security or at least turn it off some how.
Thanks.
I am not sure that you can do that without removing vista. you may however be able to through the control panel and uninstall. are you trying to get rid of mcafee? if so you can uninstall it through your control panel, and uninstall.
Just follow the simple procedure here:

Just scroll down the page to:
“Automated Removal Instructions for XP Internet Security 2010, Antivirus Vista 2010, and Win 7 Antispyware 2010 using Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware:”
Do NOT buy any of the malware removal products that may be advertised at the top of that web page.
Good luck.

That may be the problem. Many annoying people will use fakes as a source of viruses. Don’t believe everything you see.
You may have to do steps 1-4 on another computer and move it through a USB flash drive.
If that doesn’t work, try this:
