It will remove virtually anything "mal" from your computer.

good luck!

Go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-xp-antispyware-2009 and scroll down to the link for Malwarebytes Anti-malware. It will remove this particular infection quite nicely. My wife uses this to remove it from the students' computers are a local college.

I used Bit Defender (free version) to remove this problem from a frien's computer last week.

Here's a program that's free and it clean up some nasty stuff for me that several other programs missed. http://www.download.com/Trojan-Remover/3000-2239_4-10038982.html

I agree with Ken B.. Malwarebytes does the job very quick and easy. I have been seeing this alot on computers that download a lot of music.

I have used Malwarebytes Anit-malware on several computers and it worked very well. On the Home page, navagate thru the adversitising and look for the free malwarebytes pages. Update and Run it often, at least once a week.

I had the same thing and Malwarebytes got rid of it. I bought the program just to say "Thanks!"

As an IT Manager, I've seen lots of the XP Antivirus on our system. Malwarebytes is the solution I have reached for again and again. It has always gotten rid of this annoying pest of a problem.

I agree with Ken, Steve, Greg and Ron... I had the antivirus 2008 virus and Malawarebytes, not only found it ( it was being quarintined by windows defender) it ripped it out of quarintine and deleted it, something other programs I tried could not do....one powerful program...try it !!!!!

Superantispyware also removes this junk as well as Smitfraud fix and malwarebytes. The old stand-by adaware doesn't seem to get some of these new threats.
