How can i delete an uninstalled version called "internet antivirus" that keeps an icon on my computer?

Question

it is not installed...it is not in control panel...and when i try to right click and delete, it doesnt do anything

Answer 1

- just delete this icon on your desktop if it is already uninstalled...

Answer 2

if it is in the shape of a shield then its a rogue spyware program. A rogue spyware program is a program that has popups that say you have dozens of viruses but you actually dont, its actually convincing you to buy the full version.

I would download either Spybot Search and Destroy or do what i did when i had this problem and download AVG for free.

Answer 3

here is a video showing how to remove internet antivirus

Answer 4

Its rogue or fake software

Malwarebytes is one of the best programs for removing fake software download, update and run a scan - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

The other two programs to try are:

SuperAntispyware: http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

SmitFraudfix: http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.p...

Once you have removed it install Avast Anti-Virus and Comodo Pro firewall, then switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE this will stop it returning. (links on my profile)
