Topic: How do I remove the "Antivirus 2009" virus?

[Baaaaaaaa]

This "Antivrus 2009" is getting on my tits.

Every 4 min 37 secs up it pops."Antivirus 2009 - Spyware activit report ..." or "Windows Secutity Alert - Antivirus 2009 is inactive ... !

Every 15 mins up pops "Threats Detected. Antivirus 2009 has detected 41 viruses"

Every web page I go to starts " The page you are opening is probably contains spyware, adware, etc.. Your system might be at risk, Click here to protect your system with Antivirus 2009."

One in 3 pages get blocked "Internet Explorer Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"
Even A4A pages. I cant even use spell checker.

I know exactly what they want - $49.99 registration.

How do I get rid of the 'king thing ?

This is a malware programme it will hijack your computer and only let you get to their site to pay for removal.

Easy to get rid of though, it took me 9hours of buggering about. but was easy when i found it.

Seach "malware bytes" in google install to desk top. (read thier instruction for better clarification) you may also find ZLob trojan.

Get AVG free (best I have found).

this is well known and there are reports on a google search.

also meant to say start in sfae mode when you install malware program and ensure you not connected to internet. It keeps going back to its site and re-installing itself using some driver settings.

After you have taken the steps mentioned above install the free CCleaner and run it.
 It's excellent. My two grandsons use it and they really know a thing or two. Also, Avast
is highly recommended too.
