Standard information about infection by rogues: 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: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-re...-antivirus-2009 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic154529.html (earlier versions) Removal instructions for Antivirus 2010: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6703 Removal instructions for Antivirus 2009: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5178 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.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Install Malwarebytes ans Spybot Search & Destroy, and scan your System, in Safe Mode if necessary. All info below. http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program. Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it. Then SCAN with it. Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover! For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from Download.com, or Major Geeks.com Download, install, and update. Important re: Safe Mode If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot the computer, and go into Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode. If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode: Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating Programs to remove them. If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking (from F8 list of Startup Options), and install, update and scan from there. -- Mad Mike "udey rishi" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > i'm having windows vista ultimate service pack 1 in my pc......i'm having 2 > browsers in my pc....Firefox....and IE7........i'm having some problem in > both of them....a window opens in both of these browsers and a site opens > ...some..."antivirus 2009"..........n that tries to install that software in > my pc....i had earlier installed that by mistake....but that was long > ago...and that brought viruses in my pc.........but now m not doing that > mistake again....but why is this happening again and again?? > > i mean isn't there any way to control this virus attack?? > although it hasn't entered the pc.......or has it?? > > HELP ME!!</span> Quote
