    windows security update hijacked

    Something is going wrong with windows security service, it is leading me to a bogus site, zonealarm has stopped it but McAfee is not even able to see it. Is there anything i can try to find out the program and kill the process that it is carrying out?? Help for fixing this will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Its hard to find out the program like that. Anyways if you see any nonmicrosoft icon in windows directory which you are not aware of than you can remove it from startup and delete it from windows directory . You can also check out your registry and remove entries related to it. If that's not helping than try using some other antivirus like spybot or malware byte and check out if they help you out.
