when getting rid of the above mentioned registry entry there will also be one called av2009 in the same folder…which carries a long number attached to it, this corresponds with a folder in the “programs” folder which contains countless entries for adware etc…delete!
AV2008/9 is morphing. This morning, between 08:00 and 09:00 GMT on 26 Aug 2008, my XP Pro system was attacked by fake AV offerings posing first as:
antivir-64.com
and then as:
msscanner.com
I’ve added both to my BLOCK list in IE and await the next attempt.
Beware!!

Thanks for the help. This little sucker looks like Windows antivirus. It disabled my CA Antivirus and tried to install itself. Fortunately I woke up in time and stopped it.
Thanks for all the postings. It helped immensely
Thank you Lise! We removed ours doing the System Restore steps she provided above. Yahoo! I thought my husband would have a nervous breakdown on this one!
Hahahaha, you’re the admin, and you fell for it?? My GOD man… You SHOULD be tarred and feathered for such a dumb move.
I found a soloution to all of your problems! Use this info to delete antivirus!!!!!! I am 10 years old. I deleted antivirus out of my computer for 2 weeks. i wanted to be sure before telling u so u dont mess up. There is NO DOWNLOADING NEEDED!!!!! Step 1. right click your mouse to delete a file. Click on “remove from list” or “delete”. When done click on recycling bin. Step 2.Go too recycling bin and delete anti virus 2009. Just in case search at all files. If doesn’t work i’ll try to look for more soloutions. Thank you very much. Oh and also i did this on window vista and not on aol or other kinds of brands just in case just try it.
Good
I am a patient, kind grandma type, but I’d like to choke the living crap out of the AH who
did this. It is sooooo annoying.
I am not a techy and don’t even know where to
start other than hiring help.
I have to go tomorrow for a little while so I’m disconnecting the computer. When I return next week I’m afraid everything will be this
stupid AV2009. It almost is covering everything now. Who the heck is buying it or why would they want to with such aggressive tactics. Like I said I would like to choke the living crap out of them. There has to be a special place in hell for them. hb
if you want to maually remove it by stopping the process in task manager and deleting the folders and files and so forth… but it wont let you delete the folder you can just renname the folder and that would enable you to delete it
I have antivirus 2009 for 3 days. It is worse than all the women in my life! how to delete it?
to Bob, will that work for firefox, because i have tried to block certain sites this way and is usually not the case with firefox.
the easiest way to stop the pop ups is by blocking the websites i.p. address.
i’m using windows xp pro…(step smight be differant for other users)
go to tools in your internet explorer window…internet options…privacy…then click on sites
now add the i.p. address:
78.159.97.247
and
main-scanner.com
then click on “block”
this will block the annoying 2009 antivirus pop ups
I seem to be having the problem with this AV 2009. However it is not installed on my computer and i cannot find it in either of my hdds. i haven’t tried any of the solutions yet. When browsing i do get the popup saying this and that buy me you have infections and so and so forth. i have found a way to avoid these though by opening a new tab and copying the website and pasting it into the url.
I assume the manual removal works, but I didn’t have the time and energy to deal with this anymore. So, I took the stupid but easy way out. I bought spyhunter as recommended here and it worked. Yeah, I am a sucka! I will find a way to prosecute these guys who created Antivirus 2009. I lost so much productive time ’cause of this.
AV 2009 was a pain for me too. I tried everything I could but being a beginner at everything but surfing I was clueless. I broke down and bought spyhunter and if you have problems with it down loading do not give up. The biggest problem was when av was detected it attempted to shut down my computer but I caught it in the nick of time. Spyhunter has deleted it and I have no trace at this time . So if you are a beginner or have no clue it appears Spyhunter is the fix.

I GOT MY YAHOO BACK! System restore totally worked. Got to START- PROGRAMS - Accessories - Sytems Tools - System Restore. It worked! You don’t have to pay or anything!
Dude! It looks like I deleted everything about antivirus 2009 off my computer, but I CAN’T EVEN LOG ON MY YAHOO!!!
I try and my security center thing pops up, blocking it, and it has two choices at he bottom, I can either get “antivirus protection” or I can continue unprotected, but no matter which one I click, it’s going to take me to some antivirus 2009 add. Is there anyway you can help me. I don’t know if it’s my security system or what!
I NEED MY YAHOO!!!! please…
How can I get rid of Antivirus 2009 and keep it from infecting my computer ever again? Do any of the antiviurs programs work? Which ones? I’m willing to buy one, but only if I knwo it works for sure! Thanks!
No. I already have McAfee, and finally contacted them to see if they could remove Antivirus 2009. They said no, but told me to click on the ‘virus removal’ tab on the McAfee website. I did that, and saw that it costs about $80 to pay to have somone remove the virus and I don’t even know if it would work or not. Didnt’ do it. I’m checking out this ebsite first.

My God am in trouble!In my office we share one computer for the internet and i am the “systems administrator” antivirus 2009 faked me and installed on the net pc. People are already complaining and are soon going to slaughter me! Guys outthere pliz someone with a working solution rescue me!!!
How in the world did you clean 09 so fast?
brian,
Downland Mozilla Firefox to use as your browser, it seems AV2009 like Internet Explorer. You can access websites with Mozilla, download that first then delete IE, you can always download again later if your prefer.
O.K. I jusr removed it, I,think.
On the main page of this av2009 program @ the top right is a big box marked HELP.
CLICK ON IT & SCROLL DOWN TO REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.download the file.
then go to start button, programs,av2009 uninstall, run it, AV2009 GONE!
It’s a nasty little bugger. It has popped back on a couple times but now I’ve just gone into control-alt-delete and then processes running and highlight it (AV2009) and hit the button to stop it running. It goes away til the next time. The one suggestion of going back a few days and system restoring to back then, back when, is something I’m also going to try.
it doesnt work tried it 3 times
Hello to all, here all the responses have been very helpful I have been able to get av2009 off my computer. However when this all started it seems all my internet sites that need a login and password are not running properly. Some site I put in login and password and it just kicks me out to the home page, some sites they basically put in a XXX where login should be and XXX where password should be. Any suggestions so I can start going to my internet sites again.
With Rol and Smith on getting rid of AV2009
Bought SPYHUNTER followed all the instructions. Restarted computer. It’s gone tool bar icon and all!!
If your nervous about messing around in your system or don’t feel capable just break down and buy the SPYHUNTER. It seems to work.
I just spent hours trying to delete Antivirus2009 that got on my computer. After reading the responses I tried “System Restore” and it worked !!!!!
START menu- ALL PROGRAMS - Accessories - Sytems Tools - System Restore. I went back a week … computer re-started and worked like before. Thanks for the suggestion.
I’m Ruth, I wrote a couple messages ago. After learning what a scam this was, I actually wrote a complaint to the internet fraud division of FBI. I’m sure they’ve had other complaints. Then I found that my existing antivirus programs weren’t as good as I thought. I went ahead and bought Ad-Aware 2008, scanned about 4 times all together, plus removed it from my “processes running”. Still a trace now and then, but it’s basically gone and I can use my computer again. Good luck everyone.
Betsy-Finkbeiner, you really bought antivirus 2009!
Did your credit card get charged?
Someone should track these people down and put them in the slammer.
Hi Everyone,
I thought I was crazy or else I was going crazy. I spent all last evening fighting this. Nothing worked. I have 3 really good spyware programs so AV2009’s warning was stupid. I did complete scans, hours worth, removed some parts but not all. Found I had 4 spyware and 1 virus, all removed now, but this keeps coming back. I was going to contact Better Business Bureau but then found this and other sites with multi information about it. Thank you everyone for all the tips.
Dear Sirs: This Power anti-virus is very annoying….I am not a computer guru, however if you can give me detailed instructions for removal I will appreciate it greatly. Thank you! Thomas
You just don’t know how much I appreciated everybody’s help here. I was able to tackle Antivirus 2009 hijacking website in less than an hour. Thanks everybody. You guys are amazing!
It appears I have recieved a gift .. Vista 2008 AV… nice.
All the suggestion are great expect the system will not let me boot into windows… it just keep crashing (blue Screen) when attemping to load desktop. Any suggestions… since I can not see my files to delete them.
Thanks
and let’s all post a boundy for the creator.
Rewards for the answer
i couldn’t do a system restore. all restore points are gone. i believe antivirus 2009 deleted all of them. it really sucks… now i need to use my daughter’s computer. please help.
I lost a lot of sleep and hair due to this annoying antivirus 2009. I tried Jim’s method. No avail. I tried natalie’s method. Same Antivirus 2009 here. I am about to throw my Thinkpad across the street. :((((
I hate Antivirus 2009!!!! Go away please!!!
here’s what i did. first off my norton and spy sweeper where out of date. i went and bought kaspersky antivirus from office depot. uninstalled norton and spy sweeper then installed waht i feel is the better kapersky. you can use any legit antivirus as long as its up to date. if you do buy new antivirus make sure you uninstall old ones first. then i ran kapersky found over 28000 infected files and deleted and or quarantined. upon reboot was still getting pop ups. Now the trick is you have to go to my computer then program files find the antivrus 2008/2009 folder and delete it, also delete any av2008/9 desktop icons. then you must delete all temp internet files cookies and such from internet explorer and or firefox. you can do this by opening ie then goto tools then internet options. delete all! then goto system restore and turn it off, that right turn it off. if need be you can do all this in safe mode (just reboot pressing f8 repeatidly will get you to safe mode.) after your finshed removing the program file, temp internet files and turned off system restore you can reboot and you should be relativly ok just run a full system scan with your antivirus software to remove anyting left. Dont buy av2008/9!
