Answer 2

1) Download and Run Dr Web Cureit free download at http://freedrweb.com/cureit/

2) Download and Run ComboFix http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix...

3) Download and run SuperAntiSpyware free at http://www.superantispyware.com/download...

Any one of these will rid you os Windows Antivirus 2008 but none alone will get rid of all the other c**p WAV is secretly installing on your computer.

I've cleaned about 12 computer this week using the steps I listed above. Most of all, take your time, don't get panicky and just carefully read every thing these programs put on your screen as they run.

Dr Web will need to be run twice. It automatically does a preliminary scan when you launch it. When it finishes, check the button for complete scan and run it again. You cannot leave it to run unattended because it will prompt you for actions on different files and it just stops until you tell it what to do. Also when it finishes, it's a little vague on what to do next. (Whaddya expect for FREE :-)  ) Click on "Select All" and then click on "Cure". Select the option "Delete uncurable"

ComboFix is probably the scariest one to run because it looks like it's deleting everything. Trust me, it isn't. Just let it do its thing.

SuperAntiSpyware is a very good one to keep on your computer and to run two or three times a week. The Free version doesn't let you program scan times so you have to run it manually. Again Whaddya want for free.

Good luck
