Personal Security is very wisely denominated rogue antispyware. Most users figure out what sort of software they have and ask how to remove Personal Antivirus
To remove Personal Security spyware you must block Personal Security sites, stop and delete processes, unregister DLL files, search and delete all other Personal Security files and registry utility. Other software removal method is to remove Personal Security by using "Add or Remove Programs" service. However there may be hidden Personal Security files, running processes and registries in your computer, so Personal Security may recreate all other files after reboot.

I assume you're running some flavor of Windows?
Go to www.malwarebytes.org, download the free version of that software, run an update, and perform a scan.
If that doesn't work, the best solution that I've come across online is at this site:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-personal-security
the solution is about halfway down, and the answer is pretty descriptive - it should do the trick.
last suggestion: try to reboot and boot in safe mode (press F8 a couple of times as you see the initial splash screen right after you turn the computer on), select safe mode with networking, then go to the above site, run that rkill.com thing then run MBAM.
That should do the trick!

I cannot download any free powerpoint templates, it keeps saying block by your security zone policy...HELP!

Sounds like dad installed a proxy filter that has very strict rules pertaining to downloading items. Have your dad check to make sure that the files such as .ppt are not blocked for downloading. He should be able to set what files can be downloaded or what type. It sounds as if he set it up to stop people from downloading files that usually have viruses embedded in them. Smart move but very restrictive.

Dell inspiron cannot download programme

Do you have another anti-virus running? If so disable it and try again. Most Anti-Virus programs think other anti-virus programs are viruses.

Personally I have never used anything but AVG. Have not had any virus problems with it. After 10years of using the free version, I bought it for all the comps in house.

My Nieghbor loaded at least 3 rogue anti-virus programs onto her Acer. The netbook has 2 legitimate users. Most control panel, security center and other critical applications have been blocked from use...

sounds like spyware still got thru even with all the anti-virus programs running. Best thing to do is to save all the important data onto an external drive or flash drive and then reformat the drive and reinstall the drivers for the hardware and put the applications that you want back onto the computer. This time only install one anti-virus program onto the computer.
