The fix didnt seem to be working for me properly unitll I updated Malwarebyte program. As stated about 20 posts ago, at least for me at this opther poster.. I coudlnt remove the virus untill I had the Malwarebyte program set up with latest updates.

I actually didnt use safe mode to get rid of it, I used aprogram called 'ckill' and it stopped the popups allowing me to run the Malware properly. However if this ever happens again, (now that I know) Ill use safe mode.

As so many here, I am so thankful of this site and the help it has given me!

Now Ill need to catch up on the missed nights sleep panicking over this!

PLEASE HELP, anything i download whether it's the malwarebytes program OR the udpates for java WILL NOT OPEN due to this stupid antivirus system pro. what else can i do? my computer is useless with the antivirus system pro on it. it won't do anything, please help...... !!!

Hi, thank you for posting the removal guide, btw. I followed the instruction and got rid of it the first time. But after I restarted my computer after the removal, it came back. This time Malwarebytes no longer find the virus when I run system check. So I used Search and Destroy instead, and removed it for the 2nd time. But 2 days later, it popped up again! I don't know what program its linked to or how it keeps coming back. found a folder in my C drive name "Inetpub", don't know what it is, and I certainly didn't install it. That and alot of my folders are "access deny". It created a folder called "system volume information" and 572060e7c...." folder that I don't have access to. That and it created a system.sav file, a system restore file. I'm getting pretty pissed off, if its a firefox security problem, I might just change over to google chrome.
Someone please help, I'm running out of ideas.
Thank you so much again

Got this on my computer last night. I have downloaded the Malwarebytes and updates but cannot open them because of this infection. What should I do now. I don't think this is how you start a new post, but I don't see where to do that?

If you are having issues accessing Internet sites after removing the Antivirus System Pro, try checking if it is disabled. It's accessed in IE under Tools/Internet Options, select connections tab, select "LAN Settings" and make sure box is unchecked next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN"

Thank you GeekPolice and bstritt!

I removed the virus from my computer, but I had problem using Explorer Browser. I read the forum to find a way to fix this, and I have found the bstritt post. It work perfectly for me

Thank you both again!

If you are still having a problem with this, head over to the Sophos antivirus page. They have several free tools that are designed to remove these kind of threats.

I have read and tried everything you offer here, and guess what... my computer still does not work.

What else do you think will work?

Somehow got that vista antivirus bug today and thankfully found this website to help me get rid of it. Downloaded the malware program just fine and installed in perfectly, but the quick scan found no infections at all, even though I'm still getting those pop ups every 20 secs. Decided to do a full scan which is still going and has been going for about 40 minutes now and already looked through close to 150k worth of objects but it still hasn't found a single infection. What gives? How am I suppose to get rid of this bug if it can't be found?
