If you are have enough experience to remove a virus manually, you may try to remove the infections of fake Windows Security in manual way so that the virus can be completely kicked off from your PC.
But you should be very careful because any mistake during the removal process may cause irreversible damage worse:
(1) The associated files of fake Windows Security to be deleted are listed below:
%AppData%\Microsoft\[random].exe
%UserProfile%\Desktop\Windows Security.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Security\
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Security\Windows Security.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Security\Uninstall Windows Security.lnk
(2)Open your Registry Editor (For Windows XP:Click the Start menu->Click Run->Type "regedit" and click OK. For Windows Vista/7:
Click on start menu and input " regedit " in the search bar and press Enter.) and then remove the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\avastui.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\egui.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ekrn.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msascui.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msmpeng.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msseces.exe Debugger = svchost.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore DisableSR = "1"

Manual removal is most definitely not recommended. If you wish to give help here we ask that you read and follow the instructions given here

You should test this immediately, NOT later. If the system is not clean then continuing to use it will only place it at risk for additional infection. Rebooting should only take a few moments.

This morning it had come back, but just now I restarted the computer and everything looks fine so far. I will re-post if I have any further issues.
Thank you for your patience & help.

have Windows XP Service Pack 3
I use Firefox.
I can't get rid of Fake Windows Security popup every time that I turn the computer on. I also have a Windows Security shield with an "X" on it on my task bar.
Also when I search on google for example and I click on a search result, I don't get the website that I chose.
I ran Spybot, Malware (both in SAFE mode), found nothing. I ran per DaniWeb instructions
ATF Cleaner, DDS, GMER (logs are below).
I am not a techie, so pls if anyone can help, send me step-by-step instructions.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
