Power Antivirus 2009 Removal Guide

[fukinzeppelinman]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to do everything you've said except I'm not going to install CC cleaner. I just want to keep the Power Virus at bay long enough to back up my files and then I'm going to format my hard drive and re-install windows. You can't let your guard down for even a minute these days...

i went onto runescape wikipedia, and the website changed to, wen u open my computer, it has all the cd drive, and my documents n stuff

so it changed to that, and it says infected with virus, and the wesite on the url, was something to do with powerantivirus, i didnt kno wot to do, i jus xed the window, and started my anti virus scan, im it is still scanin

so power antivirus gives u false result, but does it actually infect ur computer with virus?

[srajure]

if you have CCleaner, or any other temp files cleaner, use it. Then disable system restore, boot your computer in safe mode and use the antivirus program on your computer to do a full scan.

LOL it said 'you know what' when it detected

SOO FUNNY! LOL!

[iAmSomewhatNostalgic]

the virus is all gone cos i bought stopzilla and stuff, but i still can't go to websites without manually entering urls directly into my toolbar, everytime i click a site it tabs another page and opens advertisments

[srajure]

you need to run an antispyware like Spybot S&D or Windows Defender from Microsoft (both are free)

[Keithmr111]

it wont let me download either of them

[Keithmr111]

it wont let me download programs that get rid of spyware

[Vicki1233]

I have the same problem.

[dmfellows]

I need to rid my laptop of this virus but I can't understand a word this guy is saying!

[srajure]

you can mail me if you need to know anything. In this case your problem could be solved if you run the free version of Malwarebytes Antimalware

Thanks a lot for the making of this video.

I Downloaded this Power antivirus joke thing,and i didnt now how to uninstall it.

Now it´s hopefully not coming back anymore.

[scarebabe]

Thank you for this vid! It helped immensely. I still get an occasional popup, and I don't know how to delete the (unchecked) item from the startup list. I don't like having it in that list, even un checked. Anyone know how to remove it?

[srajure]

use ccleaner for that. You have to download the software separately. Open it and then click on Tools > startup

select the entry

and Delete

[scarebabe]

Done. Thank you! I would sure love to know what you recommend for protection - Norton, or McAfee or something else?

Again, thank you for the video.

In my opinion all antivirus programs are on equal footing. The single most important thing that keeps you safe online is not the antivirus but your browsing habit. Here are some safety pointere

1) Use firefox browser instead of internet explorer

2) Use mywot, NoScript and AdBlock plugins

3) Run the temp files cleaner called CCleaner at the end of each browsing session

4) Create a limited user account (the one without administrative privilages) and use this account while surfing the web

[penseesublime]

Don't panic.

1) Click on Start menu

2) Click on Control Panel

3) Click on Performance and Maintenace

4)Click on Sytem Restore (on your left)

5) select Restore my computer to an earlier date

6) Click next

7) You will see a calendar

8) Select a date that is earlier to having power antivirus 2009. The computer will start restoring and getting rid of all virus installed on your pc.
