My pc got infected with XP antivirus 2 days ago. I tried to get rid of it by trying some methods from http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/xp-antivirus-2008-removal-instructions-xp-antivirus-2008/spyware-removal. Like i got rid of most of it (i think) by going to run, regedit & going to system 32 & program files manuallyremoving it. Xp antivirus doesnt show in my add/remove programs in control panel & in the start menu anymore. & my wallpaper is fixed too. To make sure its gone, i tried adaware & TrendMicro but somehow my browser Firefox keeps closing by itself when i start TrendMicro which is why i dont think i got rid of it. Also when i try to search for the files on my comp., the window closes by itself.
