Removal of Alpha Antivirus
I am thrilled. My laptop was infected with this horrible virus. I am so thankful I found Geek Police because the Malaware Application worked like a charm. My son was so angry with me that I downloaded Alpha Antivirus, as it has no publisher - but I, too, was suckered into it.
Thank you for the solution!!
Thank you for the solution!!

if you install Avira AntiVir software and runs scanning (about 40min) then all the spywares and malwares will automatically gone. You don't have do the removal instructions.
The keygen is free and is good till Dec. 2010.
I intalled it into my laptop and those ugly Alpha Antivirus really gone. I mean it's really work. Not only that but also helps you computer prevent any virus, worms, trojans, spyware for real!!!
