Alpha Antivirus Descriptions:
Alpha Antivirus is the fake anti-spyware program which is nothing more than the waste of your money. As most of the similar programs, Alpha Antivirus pretends to scan your computer, starts displaying simulated alerts on the viruses on your machine, and urges Internet users to purchase the full version of the application. Usually, it is installed on your computer without even noticing that after you enter some site, or diagnose problems on your computer with a free online scanner.
In addition, the rogue has one more dangerous feature. It is the tool to steal your passwords, so beware.
We advise to be extremely careful with this application, and never install Alpha Antivirus on your personal computer. If you have already put the program on your machine, follow the steps and remove it. You won’t get any benefit from Alpha Antivirus. The rogue anti-spyware program creators will only take your money. Beware!

I am having trouble with alpha antivirus but it does not appear on my task manager. I don’t know what to do. When I look at uninstall programs it is there but it won’t uninstall. help please.
Thanks for the removal instructions for the alpha antivirus scam. It appears to be gone now but when it got on my computer, I was in a “limited” account (non-administrator) and now the administrator account is inaccessible or missing. Any suggestions on how to retrieve my administrative capabilities?
i got all of the alpha antivirus aspects uninstalled from my computer, but having the same problems as others. i cannot get around the “about:blank” internet pop-ups. i disabled the add-ons as one person suggested. that did not do the trick.
can anyone help me with this specific problem?
thx!
Luther, Thank you – your instructions helped immensely and I was able to delete Alpha Antivirus – it was such a relief, OMG, Thank you So Much. Although now I am discovering that I am having some other problems and perhaps related to the Alpha? – I have found winlogon.exe, & csrss.exe that I am working on trying to remove – no luck so far and my dell dock crashed? & no longer working and the sidebar is not behaving either. I will continue my search and wait for reponses to this situation. But I do wish to thank you again. pg
I just got the alpha antivirus.
Luther had great tips.
There is 1 virus program at has a 15 day evaluation that does both scan and cleans. It is vipre by sunbelt software. I manually delete alpha but it found the trogan that could have been the program that installed it.
This alpha bullSh*t was cleard after I got Avira Antivirus. its free!
just in case you weren’t able to
a) find the alpha file
b) find the task/process to end it
c) access anything (an error message would pop up instead)
restart your computer in safe mode (with networking)
go to program, accessories, system tools, system restore, and restore your system to a week back. your computer will automatically restart and hopefully in normal mode everything should be fine.
i think someone else mentioned this trick but I’m just adding in the “do it in safe mode” bit.
cheers
