Okay so is you're computer infected by a fake anti-virus, well you have come to the right place! Here is how I would go about removing rogues Trojan.FakeAlert. First you are gonna need some anti-malware I would strongly recommend you get Malwarebytes, it is a free anti-malware solution that deletes a lot of malware. If the rogue blocks certain websites download rkill, it is a tool that will kill suspicious processes including the scam antivirus that blocks things. Next go on malwarebytes and then click on quick scan, wait for it to detect the infected files, click remove then restart. Now go into you're internet browser and goto eset online scanner it will detect any other junk that is still on you're computer, and now you should be malware free! :D
thanks for reading and have a good day.

What if the Malware blocks new or certain processes from running?

Rkill also tries to prevent that. But since it only stops known malware processes it might fail with 0-days.
