I recently got a virus/trojan called "Win 7 Security." Not sure how it made it past MSE, with all the definitions up to date... In any case, I followed the instructions at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Win-7-Security-2012 However, I didn't have any problems running RKill without renaming, and it came up clean.
