Windows antivirus 2008....

[Guest Peter F]

Hi All,

 

I have a malware-virus on my machine and am unable to get rid of it. The

virus is called Windows antivirus 2008. Does anyone know how to manually get

rid of this or is there any software that is available to remove this malware?

 

Any information would be kindly accepted.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
