Personal Antivirus is a rogue

[MarioKartWiiPizzazz]

To prevent an online javascript scan from attempting to attack your computer, you should end the process of your web browser via. Windows Task Manager, Windows Resource Monitor (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only), Process Explorer, etc.

Do NOT close your Internet Browser window as the rogue will automatically download the rogue antivirus software in the background after you close your web browser windows.

[minecraftguy94]

THANK GOD FOR MALWAREBYTES

[minecraftguy94]

its the massacre virus i think i've got it before

[TalkPwnTV]

0:58 Is a fake "Redirect" Virus attack. how could you have 300 trojans. YOU could even have 10000!

[Puertoricanlegacy]

i had this virus once in my windows xp pc. it automatically downloaded, i didnt touch anything. the worst part was, my MCAFEE antivirus didnt even suspect a thing! i even made a full scan on it and the stupid fucking weak shitty mcafee virus scan didnt find anything! the way to delete the trojan is to go to C>program files>common files, and then delete that motherfucking faggot trojan from your system! it may be easier on windows 7, you can just search it in the start menu and find it there.

[MrNoobWarrior]

i had this before it was called cleanup antivirus the dumb ass put the folder in program files and it was in the start menu lol!

[nataliaisuglyandfea]

Amm need help this fucking programs has made me crazy it doesnt let me go on any page on the internet and it dorsbt let me restore my pc heeelllpppppppppppppp

[belmarfilms]

if you have this, get malwarebytes and run a scan... it will remove it.

[Scorp316]

I got rid of this virus with Avast!, but every so often when I'm online this will pop up as if it misses me.

[LoggotyroX32]

Alpha Antivirus lookalike? :D

[Ragmaster1]

two year olds must have created this dumb program.

[centerman7]

This is sad because people here posting "good" comments about PA are bots from the people that make this junk or them themselves. DON'T LISTEN T THEM. IT IS A ROGUE.

[Ragmaster1]

How to Fix Your Computer And get rid of theese rogue antiviruses. caution this may lose data you may have downloaded over the days

step 1: click system restore

step 2: set the date and time you got the virus

step 3: let it restore to that time before you got the virus

(Caution This May Take Awhile)

[M3its1]

very good antivirus program. You all should download this!

[2pj2the2best2]

lol,346 trojans,you must be REALLY stupid to have so MUCH trjans :p!(i know it's fake)

[gamer3121]

I got this personal antivirus today.

[Tyannrae]

I like how the message at 1:40 says... "... Gathered information can be passwords, e-mail addresses and ALL THAT DATA, which is important for you." Lol! I crack up at all the dumb little phrases and spelling errors on these rogue antivirus schemes.

[ParanoiDxd]

this fucking suck i cant unistal it

[marky2112]

I don't even like ubuntu, but i use it for most browsing.

[TheeXtreme4Me]

i haved this antivirus,it sucks,don't download this if somehow shows up :D

[raymondleeleggs]

The fake windows security Notice has Bad grammar LMAO!!! EPIC FAIL!!!

[darkblob1]

it downloads by itself then protends got viruses OR TELLS YOU HAVE (LIES),then blocks you from all the sites solution =scan make sure you have no viruses then system restore SUCK ON THAT!

[octotech]

i had this, it heavily infected my pc and messed up the registry

[Jocool38345]

Shut up Jake!

[SONYloveSONY]

OMG, I used to have this virus too! My sister "accidentally" downloaded it and it became a pain in the ass! It's not doing anything in our computer right now or popping up annoying messages but, theres still an icon called PAV(personal anti virus) in the start menu! I don't want to touch it to activate it again but,what do I do?

[Sup3rth3ifXx]

dude try to restore your computer thats what i did

[firestormerc]

I have a video up on how to remove PAV

[hoggstar1]

@SONYloveSONY

well try to delete it and put in search personal anti virus and if it is their use malware that's how i got rid of it

[DbCSteelLegion]

Malware bytes is a brilliant tool for getting rid of it, boot into safe mode, then install Malware bytes from a pen drive or something, run the scan and job done. Had about a billion versions of this in the tech bay recently, its a pain in the arse!

[maheshs60]

just restore xp and it'll be back to normal

[MarioSegaFreak]

"e-mails, passwords, and all that data,witch is important to you."

sounds fake...

[Melody1286]

How to remove this WITHOUT antivirus programs:

Go to Computer

Go to Local Disk(C:)

Go to Program Files

Go to Common Files

Go to Uninstall

Then you will see it an you will be free of this worthless thing

[centurionl]

i did that but i de-activated it from the taskbar first and that stopped it from popping up

[ezekiel919]

This bastard is part of innovogest 2000 .

I downloaded this by mistake back in may & removed it using malaware bytes free off Cnet downloads .

It appeared again before & i did not download it this time thank fuck !!!

[VindictivePhilosophy]

Go to safe mode with networking and re-scan.

[TTCollinTT256]

a shit site got me over 400 viruses trojans and worms and password stealers so i inserted registry mechanic (old CD) scanned, amd got rid of it (also it was a piece of shit i lost internet from viruses)

[xxleanne26xx]

my laptop has just been hit by this wank and now i cant get it off its a fuking scam i hate personal antivirus

[JagexGotServed]

Ppl that downloaded it are sooo dumb, they have no experience in computers, they just html coded the fucking thing to make it look like its scanning and posted a download link. fuck you dumb fucks for even downloading it, u ppl are so dumb

[oroedd]

yo smarty. the freakin PAV downloads itself if u dont download after u visit the PAV site. so shut up cuz clearly u havent dealed with this!

[JagexGotServed]

It doesn't download by itself smarty

[oroedd]

yeah it does. it happened to me

[xH0PK1NSx]

thus happind to my m8 but i fixed it with combo fix and spyweredocter all gone now =)

[MLByankee35]

i had the same problem on my computer, but i have webroot antivirus and it fixed all this shit. i would reccommend it to everyone

[peahat111]

dont use spyware doc it dsnt work

[CharlieWalkerPCTech]

best way to keep those rogues from popping up is downloading the FREEWARE of SPYWARE BLASTER

[supercoolandrew]

Do I have to actually download and install the program to get infected? I just stumbled onto their page and immediately ctrl alt del out of the browser. There seems to be no symptoms of infection yet. A scan w/ malwarebyte turned up nothing, but I am still worried about possible inection.

[newblenderbeer]

The pop-up appeared on my computer when it was actually infected with adware. I downloaded it but I didn't purchase it. Half an hour later, I downloaded Malwarebytes anti-malware and got rid of it.

[blueyeswhitedragon2]

when i first saw this i was like shit it poped i was like shit oh no so i downloaded good thing my sister new what to do

[luxurious297]

Additional to that also, I downloaded the Personal AV but I did NOT purchased it and thank God I didn't. I decided to try to delete it and getting rid of Personal AV, but it won't disappeared! But my mom will take my laptop and have someone to fix the problem and clean the virus out of my laptop and get rid of Personal AV. I was mad at myself for downloading the software! Stupid me. >=(

[Niobesnuppa]

Don't be so hard on yourself, I did that too. I got suspicious when it wouldn't "remove the trojans", though, and it just kept asking for our bank code, so I called for dad. He fixed it. Too bad it destroyed one of my files plus my internet connectoin, though. -.-' (Yeah, I'm using my other computer right now) I think I got it from DeviantArt, so I made a journal entry warning people about it.

[luxurious297]

Yeah and you know what, though? I had

e-mailed my family and friends the video I had seen before to warn them about Personal AV. I hope they see this and take it seriously.

[Niobesnuppa]

Yeah, =\ Now it turns out the virus didn't come from DA exactly, though; it came from my DA account, there must be some virus that has infiltrated my account, 'cause I'm the only one who gets messages from that virus, none of the toher DeviantArt users have ever even heard of it! -.-'

[SaveMeJamesUTube]

Occasionally Personal AntiVirus blocks access to mainstream Anti-Malware software. In this case Mal-Aware removes the worst part of the infection and then allows you to run other Anti-Malware software to remove the entire infection. Check it out at Mal-Aware. com

[fightlugia]

omfg that just happend to me 30 mins ago i deleted it with stopzilla but u kno the backround with it shows your drives and it blinkes how many trogains are on it thoes are the exact ones i had soo that means its fake but i figerd that out alredy lol

[LyokoLover910]

Oh don't worry I see the program that may damage my computer!

[daragdan]

THANK GOD I PRESSED X ON THE POPUPS!

[LyokoLover910]

good job have a cookie!

[daragdan]

What kind of cookie? Better not be a tracking one.

[LyokoLover910]

chocolate chip....

[daragdan]

Oh yay!

[superniitendofan64]

i remember i had this and it said there was a trojan in system32 so i got spware doctor and it took me 2 hours to delete it

[UninflatedDevil462]

This thing tried to fool my mom. at 0:47 They thought they were smart by doing the scan in the my computer section to make it look real! But my mom has vista and knew that the my computer page doesnt look like that with vista. She also knew that she doesn't have a DVD-RAM drive. =]

[luxurious297]

I didn't realize how bad the Personal AV could harm my computer at first when it popped up on the screen. But when I found out the truth about it, I watched the video saying that Personal AV was fake and would not keep viruses from entering into your computer system.

[brutality46]

What do i do if i already pressed open??

[SMASH468]

I just downloaded this program today when I was about to get onto YouTube to watch E-V-I-L B-O-Y-S from another webside and it scared me. I fell for that trick and now i've learned that Personal Anti-Virus sucks!

[JusticeKeepers]

i have come across this bull shit three times in the last 24 hours. I have never clicked on the save file bit. how can i tell if i am infected..

[juan561n]

[105km]

I had it myself! I didnt notice that the page that showed the viruses was just an iternet page and not ''my computer''.

The programmer that made this needs to be seriously beaten up!

[iownedurmother]

[Th35n1p3rRif13]

use Super AntiSpyware Pro to remove it

[holysaturnius]

Has anybody noticed this rogue program popping up on facebook applications?

[xiffyx]

Is there a cost free way of removing PA, because I have tried doing it manually but all I can find is shortcuts.

[SIOYGYG]

get iobit security 360

[xiffyx]

is it free?

[supermanizgay]

i reinstalled windows xp.

i know it seems a little bit extreme, but it's the only garenteed way to get rid of it without the virus coming back.

[firestormerc]

No they are not, you need to start reading around on the web about bat files. A bat file is like a program which someone writes code in notepad of things you want it to do when it is clicked and then you save it as a bat and when you click it it will run the code and execute what you told it to do.

[firestormerc]

No it doesn't, send me a message to my inbox and i will make a .bat file for you which will remove all the files to Personal Antivirus

[MirageMiracleXiX]

i got it i think i got it out but.. not sure though.just one qyestion is malwarebytes free?

[firestormerc]

It use to be free but its a trial now but it will remove Persomal Antivirus

[Snazzleberry]

i had it on my computer.

if anyone has it, get malwarebytes. it got rid of it for me. (:

[Brycey97]

the exact same thing happened to me

[CiviC092]

I need help. that thing says that i have stupid virus or something...

Its REALLY a rogue and its all fake?

[firestormerc]

Yes Personal Antivirus is all fake, its not really a virus itself its fake scamware

[sparky10234]

hey do u know any real protecting programs

[SIOYGYG]

AVG internet security

[Kaster301]

Spyware Doctor. Uninstalls Personal Antiviruse, or and other viruses you have. It's very safe. :)

[newblenderbeer]

Download Malwarebytes anti-malware. Its free and it worked for everyone who took that advice including me.

[Goldendroid]

shit. Don't know. I guess you have to delete the account. Then make a new one. All contents should first be saved on to some sort of USB or external Hard drive. Then Delete all uneeded stuff.

[mcflyrthegreatest]

i got it come up and straight away i thought it was a con - so i used malwarebytes it shocked me to see how many viruses it PAV made
