How to remove antivirxp2008 from computer?

Question

I acquired antivirxp2008 on my computer.

I down-loaded SuperAntispyware to remove it, click the icon......nothing, can't open it! FYI, I'm unable to open McAfee as well.

What up? How can I rid my computer of this @#%&ing virus?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I hate this virus, I've had it twice :P

So my method is, using HijackThis ( http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html ) and SmitFraudFix

( http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.p... ) run them completely in safe mode, then run a virus scan using your McAfee, it should work in safe mode. And then restart and if that doesn't work, go back into safe mode and try combofix (  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix...  )

HOPE THAT HELPS :D
