163 Comments on How To Remove Antivirus Pro 2009 VIRUS from your Computer
Missy - this is not the popup I was thinking of or seeing. It looks to be legit with your SuperAntiSpyware app. if your update says you are already cuurent, then you may need to contact them and ask them why the popup then? Just shoot em an email, they'll hopefully get right back to you. :-)
Ok Brad, I was wondering since we have 3 computers networked together if I were to turn on my computer and commence downloading the software to fight this (i clicked the bubble a while back) will it start to immediately infect all the computers hooked up with an ethernet cable in our network? If so does this mean if while I am downloading this if I get the other computers unplugged from the internet would it just halt and start spreading as soon as they are plugged back in? The way I see it if I unplug the PC's then only have mine hooked up it won't spread to the others, correct? Because I live with someone who knows about comps but hasn't done anything to mine yet and I am ready to kill off this virus on my computer.
-Thanks
Just got this email from Lenny, it Made this post worth doing just for this:
Brad,
Thanks for the information today about the antivirus 2009 removal. It took about an hour to scan my computer but it did the job. Thanks again for your help.

Confused teen - I would immediately remove it from the server computer if infected. I would then run this app on all three computers individually to be sure none of the others on the network were affected. It hit our home network, but only infected the one computer, I still ran the app on the others just to be sure. When all done, I would also install AVG for future protection while still running the malwarebytes software. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll help you out the best I can. :-)
Brad, thanks..... My neighbor just got infected yesterday, and I forwarded your info to him and he is recovering from a long endeavor.
Tom - tell your neighbor I know exactly what he's going through, been there, done that, and no tshirt! LOL~ Tell him if he needs any assistance to give me a call, I'll walk him through the proper process to kick the !@#$%^& out of that virus. Happy Holidays my friend. :-)
Brad -
Where were you last week?!? I, too, tried to eradicate that virus (it would disappear, then return). It was insidious. Every time I tried to download anti-spyware or upgrade my solutions, the link went dead. AV updates and upgrades would not download, or be completely inert when they did. Couldn't defrag (tried lots on approaches on that) or system restore either. Nothing.
My system kept running, but it dragged and was dying. Boot-up wnt from seconds to minutes. IE was all over the place and Forefox did not offer any refuge (or alternative vehicle for downloads - my system was cooked).
Finally I was going to approach the problem through safe mode - that finished me off. Could not get back into Windows. Didn't back up my docs before the attempt, so 100's of hours of work lost. Had to reformat back to original start-up (which was touch and go for a while). More dozens of hours setting it all back up.
Now I browse only in Firefox and have all kinds of system protection.
Thanks for sharing - I should have been monitoring your posts all along. I will repent.
Happy New Year!

Art - man, I am sorry to hear you went through that. This is one nasty virus for sure. Every time someone finds a solution to fix it, the virus finds it too then counter attacks whatever fix you try to implement. Sounds like you have it stabilized and protected now, but if you need any help, you just let me know. Happy New Year my friend, hope 2009 brings you great successes! :-)
Help me!!! I got this virus a few hours ago. I think I may have clicked on the fix it program. My Norton isn't removing it. I am in the process of down loading the malwarebytes and scanning. Is it too late?? Did they get all my info??
Scared - feel free to use the links in this post, they work. We were able to rescue and save our computer from this nasty malware virus. If you need help, just let me know... :-)
I had this problem too, very annoying! I have AVG and was very disappointed that it took several days to get rid of it but AVG finally healed the virus.
You will need an anti-malware application to completely remove the malware. Anti-virus may hide it or place a bandaide on it, but you will still need to eradicate it and run anti-malware to be sure it's gone. :-)
Hello Brad, thanks for the heads up and I will keep my eyes open for any of those symptoms. Always appreciate reading your posts, chalked full of terrific information. Take care and happy blogging!
Brad,
I found another use for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Today I picked up a bug that let in pop-up ads every couple of minutes. When I updated Spybot Search & Destroy and AVG Free, the pop-up problem miraculously went away. Just to make sure all was well, I had Spybot do a full scan and it turned up the Vondu Trojan aka Virtumonde. I quickly found out Spybot wouldn't be able to get rid of this, but Malwarebytes could.
Sure enough, their free version picked up about 20 more infected files than Spybot did, and zapped them into nonexistence. Sounds like a great company. I think I will now buy the active version.
Only been at this since before lunch. These people oughta go to jail for a very long time.
Judy - it's a great application for finding these types of nasty critters that slip into systems like ours. Too bad we can't find the folks creating these and have them reversed to attack their creators!! :-)
Thanks Sammy, I'll check it out. :-)
Just got this really nice email from Shari. Wanted to share it and thank her publically.
"Brad - It worked like a charm. Spent this morning resetting all my passwords to be safe. Thanks again. Your post saved me. This could have taken me forever to fix. I tried to post this on the site where you left it, but for some reason it didn't take. That's why I emailed you direct. Never encountered such a nasty monster." Shari
This one is very nasty i know i have destroyed in at least twice a week on others computers
