Antivirus XP 2008....help please?

Question

I removed it from my start menu, but I think it's still on my computer because my internet is slow and acting weird and occasionally I get redirected to the antivirus xp 2008 website.

You know those sites that tell you remove rhc and Iph or something like that from processes, I only saw rhccjdj0ea9e and I unchecked it. That's when it disappeared from my start menu, but I know it's still on my computer.

How can I remove this spyware? I can't even do a system restore.

Answer 1

When you click on these ads, it will automatically download the installer for Antivirus XP 2008 and install it on your machine. In some cases, this program is installed without any intervention at all from you.

I had this exact virus 2 weeks ago, go on www.download.com and down malwarebytes antivirus.  it's free forever.  Run it (it only takes about 20 minutes for me) and it can remove it.  You restart your computer and its back to normal, all you have to do then is delete all the shortcuts.
