Answer 11

Hello, I had the same thing on my computer and tried three different programs to remove it and couldn't, Finally I found ESET(link below) and it removed it right away..

Try restarting the computer in safe-mode, turn it on and hit F8 until it gives you the option of starting in safe-mode and then download the program I suggested.

**Free version available without a credit card or anything

EDIT: Once you have removed antivirus2008xp from your computer you need to do two things, click the 2nd link below and then click on line 285 because that virus removes your display options and this will restore them.

Secondly go to Start> Accesories>System tools>System restore and create a restore point, that way you have a "clean" restore point in case you need it.

This should fix all of your problems =)
