1 edit | Can of worms antivirus 2009
Could anybody give me a good antispyware removel program that is free and detects and removes all of the antivirus 2009 bug. I ran spyhunter on my pc and it detected all the trojans and adware. The problem is that I need to register it and wanted to know is there a program out there that is free and still kills all the antivirus program?
BTW I have 2 viruses called zlob trojan and trojan.zapchast and rogue.antivirus 2009 cause now I have all these links to porn sites. |

| Boy, that Antivirus 2009 is a real problem, I know several people who have found it on their system and I see references to it all over the web.
This program is free and has been recommended in this forum:
»www.malwarebytes.org/forums/inde···pic=5178
I do know people who have cleaned their machines using it.
This has also been suggested: »www.superantispyware.com/ |

FWIW: just talked with Starbuck, member of my Malware Removal Team. He told me he cleaned with help of MBAM the PC of a customer that was hit by Antivirus 2009.

Smyrna, DE | Just did a scan of SUPERantispyware and all it found was just adware and not the trojans that were suppose to be detected. |

lotusracer is right, I used this to clean up a co worker's machine. Worked great ! spybot(which I love) did not find anything on this one. |

using superantispyware then malwarebytes will generally get it , used to be superantispyware would do it but the newer infections seem to be worse having extra stuff with it. |

Smyrna, DE | Well I did a manual find of the viruses, and I found all the files in the regedit file. The question is can I go and delete all those files in the regedit or will that screw up my system? |

This is a pretty good thread to get a general idea about what's going on these days...(and it ain't really pretty).
