Massive Malware Attack by Security Tool since yesterday

Since yesterday there has been a tremendous increase in Security Tool rogue infections mostly in the US,Canada and surrounding regions. Its the same breed of security tool malware and not always very tough to remove in its initial stage. The ways they are entering the computers by fooling the users is scary. It is spreading through emails,Youtube and could be any social networking way. The security tool if installed alone is not very difficult to remove.Just follow the removal steps using google or go to bleepingcomputer.com. The problem arises only if it has entered the computer through MyWebsearch (Another well known backdoor creator). If the sysem is infected by MyWebsearch then most like there are different variants of malware in the computer which make it difficult for a normal user to remove because it'll not allow you to run the powerful removal tools like Malwarebytes, Trojan Remover..etc. Follow the steps in bleeping computer when unable to install MBAM. In one of my experience non of the tricks worked and had to go for soemthing more powerful like combofix (not recommended for a basic user). If any of you face any trouble removing it let me know, i'll send the steps how to make it run and remove it.
