Help with instruction to remove antivirus xp 2008?

Question

on this website

http://www.xp-vista.com/spyware-removal/xp-antivirus-2008-removal-instructions-xp-antivirus-2008

it instructs to remove HKEY_USERS\Software\XP antivirus in the registry.

I can't find it. Could it be a mistake? Or could it be that antivirus xp 2008 affects everyone differently?

I just got this thing <GRRRR> on my laptop running VISTA 32bit.

It is driving Spybot S&D's teatotally totaly NUTS! AVG 8 fouentriesnteries, as has Spybot. ( got to http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.h... to get Spybot great little app ). As soon as I get my lap top under some for of control I am also going to run housecall from trendmirco ( a free on-line antivirus & remover ).

I will also try some of sugjestions you all made.

Answer 3

I just got rid of this stupid virus a half hour ago. I went to four different websites to try manual removal and it didn't work and then I downloaded 3 programs which have been recommended to use specifically against Antivirus XP 2008. 2 of which did absolutely nothing.

The third worked like a charm. Go to bleepingcomputer.com and just follow the "Automated Removal Intructions..........".. it will have you download a program called "Malwarebytes anti-malware download link" dont worry its not a fake stupid virus like antivirus.. the exact link is listed below

Answer 4

Go to this site and follow the directions. They have detailed instructions and links to the software to fix the malware.
