Antivirus2009

I have contracted Antivirus2009.

Does anyone know how to remove it from Windows XP.

If anyone knows how please give me as detailed instructions as possible.

I have had it for the last 3 days, the recommendations on yahoo answers do not work.

Avg cant find or get rid of it.

I have started my computer in safe mode and looked for it. I cant find it that way either.

Every 2 minutes it gives me a pop up that I am infected.

I'm infected by them Antivirus2009.

Since the infection lots of othe trogans are getting in which Avg does find. But they havent been able to

get rid of Antivirus2009.

Any help would be apprectiated.

If not I have to pack it up and take it to the computer shop tomorrow.

If it were me, I'd just reformat my hard drive and do a fresh operating system installation.

Hey jaguarbass...I have had pretty good luck with Symantec removals of viruses and spyware. Here is a link that might be useful:

I thought about that but this computer is about 8 years old and I dont have the operating system cd

I do have a windows xp operating system on a new computer that I use only for music. And I have the disc

for it.

But I have been told I wont be able to register it on 2 computers. It's registered on my music computer.

Thanky you Alvin Lee and 10 years after.

I will check your link out in a day or so.

I have to go work a double shift now. Thanks for the link.

that is a shitty virus

Your best bet might be using PC Tools Security, it has a strong recovery profile

Here's a download link for a torrent ( its in the middle of the page )

Another one that seems to be sucsessful with that Trojan is this program

its small at only 2 mg.

The other one is a bother

...and that's why I run Linux. No cost, no viruses, no trojans, no spyware, no bluescreens, stable, burn all the install CDs you want, etc etc etc.

I'm really surprised that few people have given up on Windows and would rather instead pay someone to fix it than use something of better quality.
