Answer 2

Antivirus XP 2008 is the one you want to get rid of - it's a rogue.

Antivirus XP 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware program that is advertised through Trojans and other malware. It is advertised in the form of fake security alerts and warnings on web sites that state you are infected with malware or are being attacked in some manner.

Answer 3

You have to clean and repair your computer. Here is my standard procedure:

Visit http://www.majorgeeks.com

Download, install and run the following:

(drive cleaner)

ccleaner slim (removes junk and temp files so that the scans have fewer files to look through)

(anti-virus) Pick one, some infections disable cleaning programs, so try another until you can start removing the infections.

AVG

AntiVIr

Avast

If your wallpaper has been changed (and you can't change it back).

http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.ht...

(anti-spyware) (This first group will detect and remove the worst infections. The 2nd group will clean up the stragglers).

Superantispyware

Malwarebytes Rouge Remover

Malwarebytes anti-malware

Threatfire

spyware doctor starter edition

ad-aware 2008

spybot search and destroy

Counterspy

AVG anti-spyware

Download and run combofix

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix...

Once you get the infections cleaned off, you have to repair the damage.

Download, install and run

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4899.h...

Dial-a-fix

Go through everything. This will fix a bunch of things that infections love to break. If you still have problems, (parts of windows is broken) you need to do an Windows repair install.

Good luck

Answer 4

i tried a bunch of antispyware yesterday and spyware doctor was the only one that worked for me but you need to purchase it to get it working

Answer 5

Try rebooting you computer in safe mode by restarting your computer. There is always an option to reboot in safe mode or wait for the computer to come back on and I believe you push F8 or F11. From there you can remove the file.. Hope this helps.
