No, rogue security software can installed on your PC WITHOUT your knowledge, that called rootkit too as well.

then uninstall - don't need keep it
 
Yeah I got this lovely lil virus on my laptop last week. It prohibted me from running any programs whatsoever. I couldnt even turn on my antivirus to clean or even see what the virus was. It just kept throwing pop ups at me and saying it was scanning my pc. SO I had no other choice but to whipe the HD and start anew... PITA cause I dont know where I picked it up from. I dont surf the web too terribly often and when I do its sites I know are safe.. Very weird...
 
My mother once got infected by fake avg last spring. It is not worth it removing it cause it put the "undetected" file to reinfect in few weeks later. Id suggest u to do reform it as its best option for this.
 
There no need to reformat and I have repaired many malware or virs infected computer without reformating.

If you have a malware (fake anti-virus asking for credit card to remove virus) and you run malwarebytes (or any malware removal software) to remove but it keep coming back after you remove it with malwarebytes or whatever removal software you use then you have a rootkit infection on your computer that allow them to reinstall the malware back in your computer.

You need to use a rootkit removal software to remove the rootkit and then go back to malwarebytes and remove the malwares.

Here one rootkit removal software you can try or google "remove windows rootkit"

Nice

The re-image take me under 10 minutes and done. Sometime, spyware/virus won't let you open anything apps at all even cmd.exe.

I am sure it take over 1-4 hours depend on cpu and hdd speed.
