Thread: Win Antivir 2008

sometime in the past week I have picked up this program and I cant get it off my computer. Its becoming a nuisance because it keeps popping up at all times when I'm using my computer either on or off line. Basically they are asking for money to buy their program. I am using Windows ME and I have tried to get rid of this "thing" by using my " add / remove programs " on the " control panel " in settings . but Win Antivir 2008 is not shown on there. Can any body help or advise please. I'm worried that this thing might start to screw my computer up.

Nasty program to get rid of

See this link for full instructions to delete it (Read the full [page before doing anything )

Thanks Ferret, will give it a go and let you know how I go on Bob.

Hi Ferret.
Just downloaded "Malwarebytes" but unfortunatly I got the message "Needs Windows NT 4.0 or later" so I am back to square 1 . I am using Windows ME which is obviously 8 years old but for a 70 year old pensioner it does the job Sorry to be a pain in the butt , but any orther ideas or advice.?:

TX Bob.

OK ... here is the manual removal instructions for a ME machine

http://www.spywareremove.com/securit...-instructions/

You may notice that this instructions are for the 2007 version. But just ensure that the files are the 2008 ones and it should work.

It is a time consuming process to do a manual remove. Best print out the instructions on the web page first.

If the manual removal looks a bit complicated try downloading and updating rogueremover; http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php it should be compatible.
Download and update superantispyware; http://www.superantispyware.com/ ,hopefully will run on ME.
Try running both in safe mode, rogueremover first.

Hi,
