Antivirus 2009

[Guest edmer]

Recently my computer got infected with Antivirus 2009. I have been able to

remove it and all its files, and icons. But I still have folder remaining

in my (taskbar and task menu properties) in the (Customize Options) Is there

some way to remove it from there?

Install Malwarebytes, and run it in Safe Mode.

 

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

 

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!

For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from

Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

 

Download, install, and update.

 

Important re: Safe Mode

If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot

the computer, and go into Safe Mode.

To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow

key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.

RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes while in Safe Mode.
