How do I remove AntiVirus 2009?

Question

If you don't know what it is, it's just a thing that pops up and it gives me a bunch of pop ups as well .. It's like a fake virus scan. It's a virus itself. So I'm trying to get rid of it, and I can't. Any suggestions?

My husband had this on his computer when I tried to remove it ended up giving me this link I had to go to on the internet---it's like a software removal tool you have to download. It removed it though with no problems so far. You either have to right click on the icon on the tray at the bottom and it will give you the option to remove it or you might have to go to the control panel and go to remove programs. I'm not sure which way I had go to remove it---but it can be done one of those ways---Good luck! I hope this helped.

Well I just removed AntiVirus XP 2008 by doing this:

First you need to stop the program from loading on startup. This is what you do to stop it:

Start, run

Type msconfig

Go to Startup tab

Uncheck lphc35dj0e1an

Uncheck rhc75dj0e1an

Click apply, then ok

Restart computer

Then you need to delete the main files this program uses. Delete the following files:

C:\windows\system32\lphc35dj0e1an.exe

C:\program files\rhc75dj0e1an\rhc75dj0e1an.exe

This should remove the program from your system but you probably still have a warning message displayed as your wallpaper in Windows and the virus removed the ability to change the wallpaper or your desktop settings.

To restore ability to change your desktop settings and select a different wallpaper and screen saver do the following:

Start, run

type Gpedit.msc

Navigate to User configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display

Right click on Remove Display in Control Panel

Click on Properties and select Disabled

Do the same steps to change the following attributes to disabled:

Hide Desktop Tab

Prevent changing wallpaper

Hide Appearance and Themes tab

Hide Settings tab

Hide Screen Saver tab

Others have used the program Malwarebytes to remove the virus:
