Antivirus2009

My granddaughter uses one of my desktops every morning before going to school. After she left, my wife noticed this msg screen about "You have X number of viruses,etc". She called me ask asked what she should do.....I told her not to touch it. When I got home, sure enough, it was one of those ads that you can't "just delete". My sister picked up a similar one on Lime Wire that I was able to eleminate. I ran Adaware and it found it and deleted it. I've been through the registry a couple of times and deleted everything I can find that is probably a left over part of it.

There were a couple of registery enteries that I'm not sure about and thought, maybe, someone here could help identify them.

InprocServer32 Reg Multi_SZ
and
HRZR_EHACNGU:P:\Cebtenzsvyrf\Nagvivehf2008\ni2009. rkr

Thanks,

Malwarebytes is the best remover that I have seen,I have used it many times on the 2008 version.It is very thorough.Google the virus and you will see Malwarebytes come up as a solution.Ron G

Thanks folks. I'll check them out. I did let my Norton Antivirus run over night and it found one "threat" that I missed.

Get smitfraudfix, update it, then run it when the computer is in safe mode. Clear all temp files, internet cache files and cookies. if you don't do the cleaning is safe mode the spyware will regenerate itself. After without rebooting run your antivirus/antispyware program in safe mode. You can run most online scanners in safe mode. Press F8 at startup and choose safemode with networking.

Good information. It did not run again, but I did notice that some files came back after I ran "malwarebytes" the first time. I used their info and went back to the registry, removed two entries and then ran "malwarebytes" again. It didn't show up again. I'll try the Safe Mode and see what it does.

Spyzooka worked real well for me getting rid of the "antivirus 2009" virus thingy. McAfee didn't touch it. No luck with adaware or spybot.
Deleted them and installed spyzooka. Found it right away and handled it.

Best -

Steve

Remember to reboot after each time you run something.

Antivirus2009 is one of the easiest to rid.

Ctrl-alt-del. Kill task running. Usually something silly like av2009.exe or av32.exe something like that.

Then just delete the folder from program files.

Still run all the usual antispyware/malware/virus tools after just to make sure it cleans up any small traces or any alternative spyware that came in along.

If it comes back on its own, you'll either need out of the box cleanup or reinstall as most tool wont work then either.

Thanks guys, it's gone. Deleted the folder, used Adaware, malwarebytes, Norton, then used regedit to clean up the traces.

Thanks again for the help.
