Our_Moon Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 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.

urbestfreind Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 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.

Our_Moon Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
