Antivirus Soft Descriptions:

Antivirus Soft is a rogueware pretending to be legitimate, although it is nothing more than a scam. The fake application uses scare tactics to make you believe you are in trouble and you need to get the full version of it.

Once installed, Antivirus Soft starts scanning your PC and detecting many threats. In addition, you keep getting pop-ups with warnings. Don’t get trapped and don’t believe in Antivirus Soft.

Here is the full list of removal instructions.

    I keep getting this. easily removed and very annoying. Got it 3x just this week. As far as where it’s coming from, I think its myspace or the AV software called Prevx(demo version, trying to get me to buy?) I just uninstalled Prevx, so will see if that was it. BTW windows defender is useless!

    How do I know which files to delete?

    I have the following files on registry editor.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    HKEY_USERS
    HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

    I’d hate to remove a file I need.

    Okay just went thru it…..
    RESTART machine, DURING bios load-up enter “safe mode” USUALLY “F8″ hotkey. Then START>MY COMPUTER. From here “SEARCH” the LOCAL DISK for “sftav.exe”, THERE WILL BE 3 to 6 RANDOM characters LEADING the files like this>>>(lixksftav.exe)<<<. This should find TWO files, DELETE them AND empty recycle bin. RESTART and you will now be able to run "regedit.exe" and follow the "HKEY" folder tree EXACTLY to display the entries to DELETE. DO NOT STRAY FROM THE SAMPLES AND ALL ENTRIES MAY NOT EXIST.
