ive got the "antivirus" thing that is a green shield with a white tick on it, it keeps popping up trying to sell me the product and im also getting antivirus alerts asking to remove threats, but i still have to buy the programme... i want to remove this but i dont know how
heres a easier option: run windows in safe mode (F8) as soonest you log on. just click start>all programs>accessories>System restore. then click the date before you got the virus. hope this helped.
HEELLP!!! i got rid of this virus a different way, and now when i turn on my computer it stays at the desktop and i cant do anything, like i cant open anything it just freezes up. can anybody help?
Try Spy hunter3 my computer has Antivirus 2009 and some other fake antivirus on my computer i used spyhunter3 to get rid of them go check out my video
Its Call Spyhunter3 its made to strop fake antivirus2009 and other bad programs by the way if you can download files on mac you can get antivirus 2009
maybe it's hidden. when your are in a folder, click "tools" at the top. Then click "Folder Options..." a panel should come up. Click the "View" tab. Look towards the middle of the list where it says "Hidden Files And Folders" under it make it so the green ball is on the "Show Hidden Files And Folder" now try and find antivirus 2008 in program files, hope i helped!
ah crap, i deleted someone's post about it automatically logging them off, even in safe mode, but i meant to say reply. if ur reading this, i have on question. do i know you? because one of my friends is asking the same thing. ive never had that problem, but for something like that, you might have to reinstall your operating system, ur motherboard, and possibly wipe ur hard drive clean with a program the csi uses, look that part up. if it gets to the worst, you need a new computer. sry dude :(
use control panel to go through your program files and look for "lphc35dj0e1an" and "rhc75dj0e1an" DELETE THEM. restart your computer go to microsoft and use their web browser anti virus thing, it should cleanse the issue. Spybot Search And Destroy works pretty well also, but you kinda have to have it prior to getting the virus in order for it to be able to remove the pestilent program.
you can also disable it from start up, but its easier and safer for your comps hard drive the other way
Thanks for the video! Listen, I downloaded this fucking program, it's SpyProtector, it's stopped my firewall, also my antivirus program, like I don't have firewall and antivirus program in my laptop. So, I uninstall this fucking program, but my firewall and my antivirus program still stopped! Can you help me uninstall this program and tell me a way to let my firewall and my antivirus program work again, please? Like I never downloaded this program! Please, help! Waiting for your answer.
Users don't have to be retarded to be caught out by this. A lot of typical family PC user's tend to not be tech savvy. Are often caught out by big red official looking message looking very much like something a Symantec antivirus product would show up.
I just refuse to do family and friends tech support these days unless they got Linux or a Mac.
You know I just looked at this video because I had that on my computer before... I wish I had known about these programs and/or methods b4 I wiped my hard drive. :(
Hi guys i have a BADDDD problem, i was on the internet the other day on youtube, and when i was wanting to check my messages, some porn randomly popped up and i tryied to close it but it wouldnt close, then it started to download onto my computer and i quickly turned off my computer. but guess what when i turned my computer on the freaking screen was frozen i cant click on anything or do anything nothing works not even AVG or anything i click will start up, how do i fix this?
SearingWolfe is 100% correct on this vid cause in safe mode, the operating system only runs the programs necessary to boot up. Since Anti Virus 2008 is not necessary to boot up the computer, Windows does not run it. That also means that what ever is preventing it from being deleted from The hard drive is also not running in the background.
i deleted antivirus 2009 but now in my bottom right corner (next to the time) i have an icon that looks like a red circle with an X mark over it and it keeps saying my computer is infected just like the antivirus 2009. any idea what program this is or what it's called?
Does it retain your original file after it delete all those crap?maybe u gt write inside but i nver see so forgiv me if u guys think i saying crap so ans me?
im sorry people...this DOES work though. sry about the tab thing. im running windows XP and for me, i can press tab or F8. also you can just as easily go into safe mode, since it doesnt allow anything to startup automatically, so no, i wasnt actually missing a step.
you are partly correct!! you need to remove it from start up!!! MSCONFIG uncheck mark av2009antivirus IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM MSCONFIG!!! you were correct but you were missing a step!!!
I found out who's responsible for the AntiSpyware 2008/2009 virus. It's a commie/marxist group- most likely "AdBusters" related. Their sole goal (from socialist Canada) is to F-up the US. No joke. They want a world free from evil cars (although the owners drives a Toyota_ and free from McDonald's (although he eats there too). you get my drift. This "human right's protest" nonsense is nothing more than a utopian communist pipedream. Spread the word about these a-holes.
Could someone help me REMOVE SECURITY TOOLBAR 7.1 i cant remove it. i have a legit Kaspersky2009 ive run AVG-anti Spyware i also tried Avast home. and even Spyware Doctor. Nothing has work.. HELP NEEDED BADLY...thanks..
this video said it can help you with alot more things, things like bad programs. First you have to find the folder in C:\Program Files that has the security toolbar 7.1 in it. then restart your computer, get into safe mode, find the bad folder, delete it. just basically follow my video, but with a different bad folder
hey, your guide really helped. except hitting tab wasn't bring me to the options. pressing either F5 or F8 brought me to it, but yea thanks again for helping me get rid of it.
why would you want to delete anit-virus 2009 its a lovely program all u get is a wallpaper bakcground change pop ups 5 programs or up to 8 installed onto desktop and pop ups every 1 minute. WHY!!!! ANSWERE ME!!!!!! (its a joke)
ok so did anyone get "My Computer" removed from there desktop? and my IE all of a sudden says it has no add ons? My CPU is also blocking me from changing my backround and my "Run" in the start menu. In the end i was just so irritated and had to format everything. P.S. to everyone create a partition if you have trouble with this BS, some of these spy ware deleting programs kinda suck
Yeah...all that is right, but you also need to delete all the registry keys. Unfortunately, I deleted EVERY trace of that program and it is still changing my wallpaper all the time and showing a message before logon.
No you don't. You just need to restore registry keys and then delete the buggers. Also, before you reboot, turn of the 'system restore.' And scan you comp again.
i have done this and use programs to get rid of everything to do with antivirus xp but my i still cant change my wallpaper and i cant open certain webpages and when i click on things that i search in google it opens a random website!!!! HELP!!!
Slight problem with that video. After you've done what you've mentioned, the real hell begins. Apparently, after erasing it, it also messed up everything. Can't go to certain websites for example, windowsupdate. Can't update and keeps downloaded files like, Spybot as wmv files. I don't have a clue how to change it to a basic program to open. Your video is right, but I'm slowly walking to reformating the damn thing again.
Good luck. I realized that the problem keeps reapplying itself after I rebooted. Turn off the 'System Restore.' If you need some advice, I'll tell you what I did.
The one thing that really helped was a free viral scan from Trend Micro. This will work via the internet. I've always used, didn't think I had to go back in using it, but they work. Spybot and any other program advised me to go there.
Since this message board limits the amount of characters I can use, I'll try to send you a detail description of how I did it.
I'm sorry for being hostile, but I need my computer and finally figured it out... maybe. What you mentioned is right, but it's missing something. 1. If you just do what you said, then it's just haft of what you need to do to try to get your computer back to normal. The second thing is that you have to use 'system restore' on the computer. One problem is that the virus made it so that you couldn't as well as receive updates and sites. Luckily my other Anti virus program had this option.
OMG I HAD A CRISIS FOR 2 HOURS! OH I LOVE YOU AND THE RANDOM PEOPLE WHO COMMENTED BECAUSE THAT HELPED TOO! ISH different way: 1. Start > Run 2. type "msconfig" (without quotes) 3. Choose the tab with BOOT.INI 4. Select /SAFEBOOT 5. Restart computer 6. Go to My Computer then C: 7. Click on Program Files 8. It'll either be named Anti virus whatever or rsht374g (something like that).. DELETE IT 9. Then go bacck to Run > msconfig > Normal Startup 10. THEN JUST RESTART AND CHANGE YOUR BACKGROUND :D
I had this for weeks and i got to the point where i was about to explode. The main thing to do was to reboot my computer and lose all my stuff but i didnt want to do that so instead i brought Spyhunter and used it to remove a party of the virus which then made it abit better then after a few days it was completely gone and it wouldnt have gone without spyhunter proberly
fuk this program is crap bull i didn't even install it and i turned off my computer instantly and it still shows up everytime i play the computer and makes my comp slow with popups bull crap
i dont have antirus 2008 installed properly on my computer, but I keep getting annoying popups from the taskbar trying to get me to install it. none of the files or registry entries that those manual removal things tell you to get rid of are there, and my antivirus wont detect it. can anyone help me?
I tried all the virus programs they didn't work. The only way it got off of my computer was just to system restore,I know it is drastic, but it works. Just click start- all programs- accessories- system tools- system restore.
But however that stupid virus added a restore point onto my computer that would still make me have the virus- so I had to go to search- all files and folders- look under file drives c&d- then type in system restore- then delete the one which was modified most recently.
THANKS ALOT MY BROTHA!! it helped out a bunch. i was going to buy spyhunter, but f* it. you saved me money. i went and deleted some other stuff that i had no idea wat it was for. thanks again.
skate, you're wrong. Just doing a system restore EVEN on safe mode will not get rid of antivirus. It has the ability to restore itself after every system restore. There are numerous ways to get rid of antivirus 2008 but the most successful way that i found (because i used it myself) is to download "malewarebytes". It actually works unlike all those other useless ones and it gets rid of everything in just one scan. Dont have to buy it or anything.
you might have the virus that renames the folder name. It wont literally say Antivirus xp 08 try looking in your "program files" for something in strange letters like rhcnkrj0etfg that might be the folder.
The same thing happened to me. I was told to delete certain files and registry files with the name "antivirus 2008" but none showed up. Even the folder wasn't in Program Files. But this was when I started it in Safe Mode.
Another way of getting into Safe Mode is by clicking Start --> Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Then, go to the BOOT.INI tab and check the /SAFEBOOT checkbox.
When you restart the computer, it'll automatically be in Safe Mode.
Of course, once your business is done in Safe Mode, don't forget to turn it back off by going through msconfig --> BOOT.INI and unchecking the /SAFEBOOT checkbox the way it was.
all the solutions do not work anymore - the virus is learning..safe mode cant be done because the virus prevents me from selecting it and it automatically closes 'msconfig' ..argggg
i broke my computer!!! the proseses are messed up and sound and anything like that doesent work!!! ima not gonna do anything to u about it but i really would like say that ure not resposible for anything bad :/ witch people can probably like sue or sumthing i wont though its messed up to u and i kinda did it...so yea im now looking for a proses fixer
(DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THE PROSESES I HAVE ANTIVIRUS XP 2008 VIRUS AND I DIDENT HAVE THOSE PROSESES SO I DELETED VERY VERY simalr
Hmm.. The pop up doesn't come up anymore, but SOMETHING is automatically changing me desktop wallpaper to this blue background with a message that says "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer." What's happening? :[
The easy way to remove Antivirus XP 2008 and repair system windows XP is to stop the program from loading Go to click Start Run Type msconfig go to start up tab uncheck lphc35dj0e1an also uncheck
rhc75dj0e1an click apply then ok restart computer Then you need to restore you computer to an earlier date To restore your computer:Click start control panel performance and maintainance(category view), under see also,left side of page,click System Restore Read and Follow instructions!
thanks ill try u make a point lol but theres a faster way to go to safe mode shut down or restart computer n as soon as it turns back on press f8 a couple time ( wat do i know im only 14 , lol i have my owqn laptop n its poping rite now as im watching its so annoying lol )
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, just fucked up my sister's laptop cuz of this fucking bullshit. If I could get my hands on the mothafucka that invented this piece of shit spyware, I fuckin swear - I would commit murder. No, i'd make him wish he was fuckin dead.
Well, getting this virus sure did teach me something. I should youtube my movie's instead and not go on random sites to see crappy movies XD Fuck the Mirrors!
yeahhh. it worked for me. u may have to hit f10 or esc to get it to go into safe mode at start up!!! Website attackerz are in Ukraine, lets invade them next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got a problem.... it didn't install it... my anti-virus auto quarantined it after i pressed agree and install... because i knew it will block it and i knew it's a virus... but... i can't put my wallpaper back on desktop and when i press proprieties on desktop it hides the wallpaper subject.. and i don't know how to modify it..
What you do is, go to your picture document and right click on whichever pic you want as your backround and click "Set Picture As Backround" I think that should work.
I dont get it, when I am in safe mode what do I have to do next? where do I delete the antivirus xp 2008? I mean where are the folders and when I press ctrl+alt+delete and look in processes I cant find the file, someone please help, because this virus is destroying my pc :s
step one.) i shut my computer off and turned it back on, logged on to administrator, as soon as it turned on i pressed Ctrl+alt+del and ended xp antivirus 2008 before is started scanning, the more u let it scan, the deadlier it gets. anyway then i ran my symantec and just quarantined them, and it let me delete them. but make sure u turn ur firewall and antivirus on after u end the virus.
But there are other problems... You cannot edit the screensaver or background. Sure, you can set a picture as your background, but you cannot edit it to your liking. If you restart your computer, the blue warning screen comes back.
You probably have some of the files still, because my computer seems to be going faster, though, it still have some weird lags. That virus is a tough bitch, seriously. Like it downloaded in seconds and even my virus protection couldn't find it.
I checked everything. I searched everything, deleted everything I found. I searched all my hidden files, deleted the thing completely off. Whatever is keeping the background is what is giving me trouble, and I've checked processes, there isn't anything running that is like the previous files. The file wasn't called Antivirus 08 like this dude said, it was some weird code thing that took me forever to search.
Yeah the other guy had said it's gonna have some random names, so you gotta find out which files are good for your computer or fake in task manager's Process. What I did is just scroll the mouse over some random files and see when they were created and if they were created the time I got the virus I deleted it. Also another help is to have your comp upgraded if it's Windows for example, it's already programed into your comp for a update.
thank you very very much i love you haha i think it worked but i´m still unable to set the screensaver as well as the desktop image could you help me in this too please
Lol I had this, deleted it another way try to move your mouse to the top right corner check if theres a x button and close it not on your browser though -.- on your desktop.
This worked - thanks so much! For my computer i had to hit F8 when its restarting to go into safe mode. Once there, i deleted 1 file in the Antivirus XP folder (it would only let me delete that one). Then i ran the computer in normal mode and deleted the rest of the files in that folder and now Antivirus XP is gone!

Yeah...all that is right, but you also need to delete all the registry keys. Unfortunately, I deleted EVERY trace of that program and it is still changing my wallpaper all the time and showing a message before logon.
amazing1957 3 years ago
No you don't. You just need to restore registry keys and then delete the buggers. Also, before you reboot, turn of the 'system restore.' And scan you comp again.

It still their. Go and restore your system to a previous date and scan it again during safe mode. Also try Trend Micro, it free and it worked for me.

Slight problem with that video. After you've done what you've mentioned, the real hell begins. Apparently, after erasing it, it also messed up everything. Can't go to certain websites for example, windowsupdate. Can't update and keeps downloaded files like, Spybot as wmv files. I don't have a clue how to change it to a basic program to open. Your video is right, but I'm slowly walking to reformating the damn thing again.

Good luck. I realized that the problem keeps reapplying itself after I rebooted. Turn off the 'System Restore.' If you need some advice, I'll tell you what I did.

All right hold on.
elchamber 3 years ago
The one thing that really helped was a free viral scan from Trend Micro. This will work via the internet. I've always used, didn't think I had to go back in using it, but they work. Spybot and any other program advised me to go there.
Since this message board limits the amount of characters I can use, I'll try to send you a detail description of how I did it.

I'm sorry for being hostile, but I need my computer and finally figured it out... maybe. What you mentioned is right, but it's missing something. 1. If you just do what you said, then it's just haft of what you need to do to try to get your computer back to normal. The second thing is that you have to use 'system restore' on the computer. One problem is that the virus made it so that you couldn't as well as receive updates and sites. Luckily my other Anti virus program had this option.

I had this for weeks and i got to the point where i was about to explode. The main thing to do was to reboot my computer and lose all my stuff but i didnt want to do that so instead i brought Spyhunter and used it to remove a party of the virus which then made it abit better then after a few days it was completely gone and it wouldnt have gone without spyhunter proberly

I tried all the virus programs they didn't work. The only way it got off of my computer was just to system restore,I know it is drastic, but it works. Just click start- all programs- accessories- system tools- system restore.
But however that stupid virus added a restore point onto my computer that would still make me have the virus- so I had to go to search- all files and folders- look under file drives c&d- then type in system restore- then delete the one which was modified most recently.

The easiest way to get this thing off your computer, and it works:
1. Start the computer in Safe Mode
2. Do a system restore.
That simple. Just doing a system restore in normal mode may not be possible because Antivirus 2008 hijacks the System Restore as well.
Skates2much 3 years ago
skate, you're wrong. Just doing a system restore EVEN on safe mode will not get rid of antivirus. It has the ability to restore itself after every system restore. There are numerous ways to get rid of antivirus 2008 but the most successful way that i found (because i used it myself) is to download "malewarebytes". It actually works unlike all those other useless ones and it gets rid of everything in just one scan. Dont have to buy it or anything.

you might have the virus that renames the folder name. It wont literally say Antivirus xp 08 try looking in your "program files" for something in strange letters like rhcnkrj0etfg that might be the folder.
Fokalistic 3 years ago
The same thing happened to me. I was told to delete certain files and registry files with the name "antivirus 2008" but none showed up. Even the folder wasn't in Program Files. But this was when I started it in Safe Mode.
Skates2much 3 years ago
Another way of getting into Safe Mode is by clicking Start --> Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Then, go to the BOOT.INI tab and check the /SAFEBOOT checkbox.
When you restart the computer, it'll automatically be in Safe Mode.
Of course, once your business is done in Safe Mode, don't forget to turn it back off by going through msconfig --> BOOT.INI and unchecking the /SAFEBOOT checkbox the way it was.

Go to your picture Folder, right click on the picture you want to use as a backround then click "Set As Backround" That might work, worked for me.
Phame17 3 years ago
But there are other problems... You cannot edit the screensaver or background. Sure, you can set a picture as your background, but you cannot edit it to your liking. If you restart your computer, the blue warning screen comes back.

You probably have some of the files still, because my computer seems to be going faster, though, it still have some weird lags. That virus is a tough bitch, seriously. Like it downloaded in seconds and even my virus protection couldn't find it.
Phame17 3 years ago
I checked everything. I searched everything, deleted everything I found. I searched all my hidden files, deleted the thing completely off. Whatever is keeping the background is what is giving me trouble, and I've checked processes, there isn't anything running that is like the previous files. The file wasn't called Antivirus 08 like this dude said, it was some weird code thing that took me forever to search.
BucksStudent 3 years ago
do what i did my file was called sav something .. i only looked for the file who had the anti virus picture of it then i delted it
scrappy946 3 years ago
Yeah the other guy had said it's gonna have some random names, so you gotta find out which files are good for your computer or fake in task manager's Process. What I did is just scroll the mouse over some random files and see when they were created and if they were created the time I got the virus I deleted it. Also another help is to have your comp upgraded if it's Windows for example, it's already programed into your comp for a update.
