AntispywareXP 2009

[Guest chrisleembhc@gmail.com]

I've been infected with this program. It poses as a microsoft product

but isn't. I called the Help Support line and got a message

(206-203-5346) from the Federal Watch stating this is a hoax. My

computer is now locked up and nothing will work. Does anyone know how

to hack this progam out of your computer?

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"

because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

 

If you are infected with XP Antivirus or Antivirus 2009/10, here are removal

steps:

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the

computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected

by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

 

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the

specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of

Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or

how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer

professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of

places.

Antivirus 2009 is actually a virus pretending to be an antivirus

program. it will continually popup and tell you that you are infected.

Yes you are infected, but you are infected with Antivirus2009. the

longer you remain connected to the internet with the infected computer

the more stuff Antivirus downloads in the backdoor that it has created

and infects your computer with even more viruses.

NO -- It is NOT a virus !

 

It is non-viral malware as it does not self replicate nor does it infect your computer

with more viruses.

Dear Lipman,

i know its not a virus, it is a ROGUE SPYWARE but the simply word VIRUS

is used to let newbies think what kind of this program is because i have

seen many newbies who wonder and ask what do you mean by ROGUE or

MALWARE? etc. anyhow thanks for posting more info about it. but the

links i provided they really help removing antivirus 2009 and its other

clones (It is cloned by its programmer, i agree with you that it dos,nt

automaticalt/itself creates its clones).

 

Good Luck and keep it up man:)

Then please don't tell people it is a virus.

<span style="color:blue">

A virus is not what kind of program this is, so please don't perpetuate

the use of "virus" when "malware" is the better term.

<span style="color:blue">

Then tell them what is meant by these terms rather than agreeing to misuse

the term virus.

Even if it did, it would not be a virus without also using infection as its

spreading method - it would probably be a worm.
