How Do You Stop Antivirus 2009 POPUPS?

Question

Notice I said POPUPS!!!! I was not stupid enough to download Antivirus 2009 but I still get major popups from them. How can I stop the popups???

Please do not post links that help me remove it from my computer, I can't remove it because I never downloaded anything.

And if you're in the same situation as me and get that message box then the big internet window opening, try to press the X at the top right before the page loads, it'll close faster.

Answer 1

use manual removal instructions

Hello Jonas,

I have the same problem as you have. The popup form Antivirus asking me to download the software drives me crazy. Every few minutes it pops up again. If you have found the answer how to prevent the popups, please let me know.  

I also have the problem that the internet explorer opens new website by itself while I never clicked on any thing and my pop up blocker is on.  

Thanks.

i'm sorry to say this, but if you see Antivirus 2009 popups, it is already on your computer. there is no way to download Antivirus2009. it infects computer and then it load pop-ups telling you to get full version to delete non-existent trojans.

here's manual Antivirus 2009 removal guide: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-antiviru...

downloading anti-spyware is also a good choice, but antivirus 2009 may prevent you from doing this, so i recommend using manual removal.

Answer 6

Man I hear you. Someone should prosecute the guys that do those things or string em up!

I didn't download the thing either that I know of. Just closed the window with the X in the upper right hand. Apparently it downloads itself? Like I said. STRING EM UP!!

I downloaded AD AWARE 2008, downloaded the current ID files from their site, did a scan and it ID'd the virus and got rid of it. No more popups. Supposed to be "quarantined" against it also.

AND btw I could not do a manual deletion because all the identifying names couldn't be seen in program files or the registry etc.

So that's why I did the adaware thing.

SOOOOO glad it worked.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

Antivirus2009 or Antivirus 2009, is the latest rogue antispyware program. Antivirus2009 is a clone of the famous rogue antispyware Antivirus 2008 (Antivirus2008). Usually Antivirus2009 can come into user's computer after fake video codec installation that comes with malware, Trojan or even a virus. Antivirus2009 will generate fake system warning popup messages to trick users into punching a "full" version of Antivirus2009.

It is very important to remove all the components of Antivirus2009 and all the malware and Trojans that it might have come with (such as Trojan Zlob, Trojan Vundo). Users should not trust Antivirus2009 and they should remove it as soon as possible from their computer system!
