How Do I Get Rid Of Win Antivirus??
I keep getting this message saying:
Windows Security Alert
Warning Potential Spyware Operation.
You computer is making unauthorised copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to pervent any unathorised access to your files! CLick YES to downloard spyware remover.
The fact that there are spelling errors in the message told me that it is probably dodgy and the research that i have done online had led my to believe that it is a Win Antivirus program.
I have used AVG and Spybot with no success and when i tried to use Adaware my computer kept crashing.
I have tried to follow other forums with instructions on how to remove it manually but i havent been able to do it. Mostly because the virus seems to disable all regedit, control panel and task manager functions.
Here is the hijack this log: Somone please help!!!

Hi,
You should use “NoAdware”. It’s extremely effective. I don’t have anymore problem with spyware, pop-up, Trojan or computer viruses. I came across this software in PC World Magazine. Featured as the top spyware/ Trojan remover. Now, you can download and try for FREE. Check it out here:

Someone doesn’t know what Google is. Here is the first result that popped up after searching “win antivirus”:
How to Remove Win Antivirushttp://www.spywareguide.com/spydet_2731_…
go to control panel
add/remove programs
then remove
Before your computer shows the Startup screen, press F8 and choose safe mode. Then go to add/remove and remove the trojan/virus. that’s probably why there’s spelling errors in windows alerts.
WinAntiVirus is a rogue anti-spyware program which is mostly ineffective at detecting and removing malware, which is usually marketed like something this:
“Many may have been surfing the net, going through mail, or just working on the internet when a popup like the ones below appear out of nowhere. Adware such as ErrorSafe and WinAntiVirus try to disguise themselves as a windows security prompt to trick people into downloading their software. ErrorSafe, WinFixer 2006, WinAntiSpyware, System Doctor 2006, WinAntiVirus Pro 2006, SysProtect, and similar software are ROGUE anti-spyware programs. They pretends to be a program that will help you fix windows problems, but really it reports false information to try to get you to purchase the program. It is a SCAM.”http://www.aceviper.net/WinAntiVirus_Pro…
The trojan that usually causes or caused these phony Windows Security alerts is usually a Vundo (AKA Virtumonde) trojan A good tool for removing it is VundoFix. Free at:http://www.atribune.org/content/view/24/…
