    My pc was just hit with Security Shield spyware...everything stopped working until I rebooted in safe mode and reset the restore date...everything seems fine, but am I still infected with this thing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Yup, I've had it at work on one computer. RKill&MBAM fixed it in 5 minutes. :)

    Thanks to everyone who responded. Did another quick scan with Malwarebytes and came up empty.....repeated with full scan and located file with security shield....removed it.....did another quick scan and nothing came up.....hopefully it is gone! Thanks again......if there is something I'm leaving out, please let me know.
