Question

Vista Antivirus 2008 just keeps popping up on my computers. It won't uninstall. Help me! What should I do?

Answer 1

Vista Antivirus 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Windows Antivirus 2008, Antivirus 2008, and System Antivirus 2008. When installed, Vista Antivirus 2008 will automatically scan your computer and state you have a variety of security risks that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the software.

Scroll down to "Automated Removal Instructions for Vista Antivirus 2008 using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:" and it's free to use.

Answer 2

You actually installed a Virus on your computer?

Thats not smart.

Install AVG Antivirus Free from grisoft.com

Then download and install AdAware (Google it)

Then install Spybot search and destroy (google it)

Then install easy cleaner and clean the registry.

I think you should download and install HiJack this and post the log file on some forum too...

Answer 6

There's no such thing, it's an ad-ware program. Download free antispyware. As in right now; these things can spread through your operating system.

Answer 7

Download Combo fix From Bleeping Computers run it in safe mode. That should kill the parent file after that you should make sure your anti virus is up to date and working properly. Runn a full system scan with your anti virus software as well as a scan with an adware program. I like Ad-aware or Spyware Doctor.
