Antivirus XP 2008 - Malicious

Featured Replies

I have Antivirus XP 2008 on my computer. It is malicious, according to everywhere i've looked.

 

 

 

How do i get rid of it?! Symptoms include it trying to get me to buy its fake software, screwy text sizes on the internet (may be some other problem, though,) and a desktop background thing that says "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer!" etc.

I've had three customers call in about this one. AVG/Ad-aware updated seemed to remove it in all 3 cases with no problem.

I used Ad-Aware, Spybot, Norton (rescue disk), and AVG or Avira or Avast!...Cant quite remember which, may have been all 3.. along with this site to help remove one o the Antivirus versions, I think it was 2008. Try using Ad-Aware and the removal instructions on the site, and maybe AVG or Avira too. Good luck, the virus is such a pain to get rid of completely.

So you sucker punched a kid in the back of the head? Good job.
What scares me is that you're like 10 years old.

You were a couple years ago.
It's not racist if its true.
Hmm... I wonder how one goes about throwing someone out a window in a mystic fashion :-k

 

The mental image for that is freaking awesome.

I deleted the registry files manually. However, it's still on my computer, somehow.

 

 

 

My computer is not letting me open downloaded documents, either. There's more than one thing wrong, i think. CyberDefender says i have 264 "possible risks," and around 230 of them are related to "BingoFunGames" or "GameSpy" (or something like that, i forget the exact names.) Any suggestions on what to do next?
