Remove antivirus 2008 spyware

Well, it said "Your computer is infected. Click to install and clean now". That too with a nice image, tempting my little brother to do a click. He was so happy after that, called me and told.."I installed a nice antivirus tool to remove viruses..that too for free". Great! what is that tool..I was wondering..He replied back telling "Antivirus 2008".....My boy! what have you done.! Do you think it is an ANTIVIRUS software? Not at all! It is a malware in itself!

So, how to go ahead and remove it...? Let us learn something about this Antivirus 2008 before trying to remove it..

Antivirus 2008 is a rogue anti-malware software that displays fake results and requires you to purchase the software. Antivirus2008 will scan your computer and list a variety of infections found on your computer. It also has the capability to download and install further infections to your PC. It will open the doorway to a lot of other infections..


Some sites instruct the user to delete the files

AntiVirus 2008.lnk
Uninstall.lnk
AntiVirus 2008.exe
AntiVirus 2008.lic
AntiVirus 2008.dll
Uninstall.exe

The worst part it the user will not be allowed to delete the files..It copies itself so quickly that it will be really difficult to delete the files..

I would recommend going for Spyware Doctor to remove this. The most trusted antispyware software. It really cleans and remove all the traces of this spyware. It also helped me in removing virtumonde. A one time investment that will always make sure your PC is safe and secure.

Also, do not get misled by some rogue spyware removal softwares, pretending to clean this one. They are brothers of this malware....
