How to remove HTTPS Tidserv Request (Tidserv trojan removal) | My Anti Spyware

HTTPS Tidserv Request? or ?HTTPS Tidserv Request 2?is a signature which detects your antivirus (Norton 360, Norton Antivirus, etc). It indicates that your computer is infected with a Tidserv trojan. The trojan also known as Backdoor.Tidserv [PCTools], Backdoor.Tidserv.I!inf [Symantec], Rootkit.Win32.TDSS.y [Kaspersky Lab], Patched-SYSFile.a [McAfee], Mal/TDSSRt-A [Sophos], Virus:Win32/Alureon.F [Microsoft]. Tidserv (TDSS) trojan installs onto your computer through a vulnerabilities in an already installed programs (mostly in InternetExplorer, Java and Adobe Acrobat reader) or with the help of a rogue antispyware programs (latest is Protection Center). The trojan is very dangerous and uses rootkit-specific techniques designed to hide the software presence in the system. It is practically not detected by standard means Windows, you will not find its files on the disk, as well as writing about it in the Windows registry.
When installed, Tidserv (TDSS) trojan creates a hidden driver and hidden service to run automatically when Windows loads. While is running, the trojan can hijack Internet Explorer (an other browsers), redirect search results in Google, Yahoo, MSN to non related sites, block most of antivirus and antispyware programs from running, block an access to security websites, disable Windows Task Manager, Windows Security Center and Registry editor, and much more.
If you find that your antivirus detects ?HTTPS Tidserv Request?, then follow the step-by-step guide below which will remove Tidserv (TDSS) trojan and any associated malware for free.

Sounds like a tricky little trojan. There are tons of instructions for removing it on the web. Norton or one of your other programs might have instructions. Not all trojans can be removed just by running anti virus software. You sometimes need to find the detailed cleaning instructions. Also check to see if this thing sneaks into multiple files. If you can't clean it, there should be a way of finding out if it gets into your personal files. If not, you can burn them and reinstall windows (assuming all else fails).

Once you get a rootkit, don't even mess with it. You have no way of knowing what was put on your PC. Backup and format.

I downloaded the fix recommended by scott91575 above and it found an intrusion and removed it and I was able to finally do a windows update for the first time in a month!!

Not claiming victory yet.

The Malwarebytes problem is not b/c of a virus but rather a compatibility issue between their version 1.46 and Norton. If you look online, people everywhere are having the same problem.
