I hate antivirus xp 2008!!!!!
OK guys.Jevaughn Campbell, You are my hero. He is correct. The file name is rhc53uj0ev7u.exe. It does exactly what Jevaughn said. Once you end the process, go to My Computer, C:, Program files and a folder rhc53uj0ev7u.exe should be there. DELETE IT. And youre g2g. Thanks so much Jevaughn.

I got it on my Sony VAIO. I have adware software and avast antivirus. It kept coming back.
Finally I went to Task Manager Window then clicked Processes Tab and saw an .exe file that just had lowercase letters like jpheklrdkld.exe so I deleted it. This is day 2 and it is not there anymore. But I cant uninstall the Program window where it says to Add/Remove Programs window. I delete desktop icon and everything else is gone.
Jevaughn Campbell good looking out dude!
I have yet to restart my cpu , but it’s gone and i can type again.
1st end the process of anything with low case ending .exe (i had two next to each other)
2nd go to program files in C drive. look for same folders. delete them.
3rd i ran norton and it wiped out the remaining junk. (cookies)
G2Go now. good luck!
I lost all my money in the market, and now I am losing my computer on Antivirus XP 2008!!! I am so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took me a good one day to get rid of Antivirus XP 2008. Thanks for everybody’s advice. I read through almost every comment and they are indeed very helpful. Thanks again.
I have this crazy virus but following the instructions here to do a manual fix I DO NOT have any of the processes running that need to be ended. So far I haven’t found any of the files that need to be deleted. HELP…
Antivirus XP 2008 is killing me!!!! I clicked on “x” to close it and it came back. It’s faster than what I am capable of doing. The wallaper is like fixed in the background and in no way could I reset it to my pic. It’s so f*cking annoying!!
I can’t seem to end the process – antivirus xp 2008 disabled and removed any permission that i have on my windows xp machine. How do remove antivirus xp 2008 permanently? thanks.
I am lucky enough that I have a very good IT friend who cleaned this mess in less than an hour. Hope you guys are as lucky. Good luck!
LoL! I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have xpa.exe. Does Antivirus XP hide in any hidden folders? I found some random files that look suspecious. Not sure if they are related.
I hate Antivirus XP 2008!!!!
It’s impossible to delete antivirus xp 2008. I have so many randomly generated files. I stopped the processes like you say here, then they came right back. I am lost
I had Antivirus XP 2008 and was able to get rid of it pretty easily using the following approach:
Run Windows Task Manager {CTRL ALT DEL] soon after booting up windows. Go to the resources tab.
Look for the program that is using all of your cpu resources (>90%, but not the System Idle Process of course). Write down the name of the program – it is likely in all lower case letters. Look for other programs in the list that have a similar name. On my system, the main cpu hog was rhc5ajj0ep0l.exe. Another program was running with this name: lphc1ajj0ep0i.exe. NOTE that these names are randomly generated.
Both of these programs are part of the problem. Highlight each one and then click the End Process button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Note the similarities in the file names: both have ajj0ep in the name. I focused on this similarity in doing the rest of the searches on my system.
Now, before rebooting your computer, but after halting the processes above, search your entire computer including system and hidden files for the programs you halted. When you find them, delete them using SHIFT + DELete key sequence.
Sort your the diorectories where you found these files by date and look for other suspicious files with the same dates as those identified earlier.
There were several files in the Windows\system32 directory that ran a screensaver and hijacked my background, but these were easily identified by the date stamp.
There was also a directory in my Programs folder that held most of the program. I renamed this and then deleted it when I was sure it was not a valid program.
Lastly, I searched my registry for entries that had the file names identified earlier and deleted all entries that corresponded to this damn program.
Rebooted and all was well.
BIG NOTE – but keep this in perspective – editing your registry or deleting programs can harm your computer. But, if you use some common sense and do not delete real Windows components or registry entries, you should be A-OK.
Good Luck!
MarkE, you are awesome! Thanks for your helps!
If you read down through the postings the names change slightly several times. xp antivirus was not listed anywhere on my computer except the short cut icon. Right clicking the icon, then properties, then shortcut, then find target gave me the name xp antivirus was called on in my prgram files. Then I was able to follow some of the instructions above to get rid of it. In my case it was called rhc33dj0ee8p. No one can do anyting about the people spreading this because they are not in the USA.
Your’e a f*cking dipshit.
ANTIVIRUS XP 2008 IS A VIRUS. Check out Norton’s website or any other antivirus website!!! DO NOT DOWN LOAD THIS PROGRAM , IT IS A VIRUS!!!!!!I had to pay Symantech’s virus removal group $100 to remove Antivirus XP 2008 from my PC
Mark E IS RIGHT!
Not only did it work but it made a lot of sense.
GOD BLESS MARK E!!

how do i remove the security toolbar
Antivirus XP 2008 is one of the worst spyware I have purchased in my life. It does not work the way it advertises. It does not remove spywares. It does not protect against viruses. It is itself indeed a terrible virus. If I have read this website a few hours earlier, I would not have run into this scam. Antivirus XP 2008 is a mess. Don’t fall into the scam.
I have this xpantivirus 2008 and it is prompting me to install. Looking at all the posts, namely Tom T, I can’t locate any fo those files. Is this because I have not actually agreed to the terms? Do I need to accept it and let it install before I can find the file names?
Ant advice would be appreciative.
the same thing happened to me today, and I ran my normal anti-virus software and it detected this virus and quarantined it. When I restarted my computer, it would restart by itself after loading. Safe mode does not work and either does debugging. How can I fix it, if it just restarts.
The quickest and easiest fix and ultimate prevention tool? Buy a Mac and forget about viruses.
This is why PC’s suck.
Mac’s don’t get them.
Hi ive somehow downloaded antivirus 2008, Can you help me remove it please
Not two months ago a warning popped up my computer screen and immediately after it was an offer of Antivirus 2008 XP and Cryptdrive. I downloaded both; now I hesitate using my computer to access my e-mail because everytime I try to, a warning pops up saying my computer is infected with a spyware, trojan, etc. Prompts to activate Antivirus 2008 XP proved futile and I was supposed to have bought a six-months license. I want these removed. Please help!
the name of that virus was rhccopj0et3c.exe
Try on line help which is free from micro soft.
I did it through chat but still had to let the tech take remote control to remove XP 08 Antivirus which is not antivirus at all.
My clock still shows 24 time and I am here to try to fix that but all other problems are fixed!
can anyone tell me the licence of Xp antivuris???
TomT….YOURRRR THE MANNNN!!!!! Thank you so much….you are awesome!! Keep up the good work!!
hmmm i posted a comment not long ago but dont see it, oh well im antivirus free now.
i used my birthday money to pay for that that shit.
I hope he uses it for some protection because if somebody who installed this crap finds him they will be relentless i bet.
The way i did it ( i cant see my comment so i apologize if im repeating myself ) rename any icon related with the antivirus crap to anything else and delete it and empty recycle bin.
go to computer, c drive, programs, find the antivirus file, right click choose rename and delete and empty recycle bin.
if this works or doesnt work the thing that worked for me, i was really thinking my computer was going to shutdown for good this time so i was desperate,
Restore your system! go to start search for it in toolbar or if you have vista just type in system under search and look for restore system.
wait the 2-7 min for it to complete because it’s almost as if this antivirus bullshit never existed on my computer, it’s totally wiped out.
I really hope this helps because i know how fucking frustrating it is.
Just a note to say that I ran a McCaffee scan while AntiVirus 2009 was actually popping up on my computer and McCaffee DIDN’T FIND IT. Symantec or Norton from the Symantec site, I am not sure if they are the same, found it.
Elena
I tried to do as ‘Tom T’ suggested earlier but a window pops up to say that this function has been dissabled meaning I can’t do a damn thing about it:-( new puter by the sounds of things

Any other suggestions would be welcome

PlZ help me to remove the virus in my system
After following Tom T’s instructions ,I got rid of those that I could find.I then went on to Manual removal and removed the rest except the screen saver so I decided to install “e’scan”antivirus since it had none, upon completion it askedto reboot to complete installtion. After rebooting, it doesn’t have a taskbar,no time bar nor anything else on the desktop except the stupid warning the caused this stuff up.I tried safe mode ,but came up with a blank sreen with safe mode…. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME???????
I had this problem several months ago and saved this page in my bookmarks just in case I needed it again.
I’m glad I did. I thought I removed everything and followed all the great advice here.
My question is can this thing come back?
I recently loaded WoW (an online game) and had to turn off my firewall to do so. The problem is I now see icons on my “start” up tab, that reference this virus again. The virus is not running as far as I can tell, but I’m worried it may be back.
I am searching files now to see if any mentioned above show up.
Is it possible I’m not reinfected? How did the icons get on my start up page?
my computer has been infected by 2873 virus and my computer can’t access any web site to download any software to heal this virus.actualy,only this antivirus xp 2008 can detect the virus so i want to ask you what should i do to solve this problem.if i need to buy this software how much i pay
- dont’ ever give your money to something that you did not install yourself! … you will have to scan the system from a clean OS; so you will have to either have an updated BartPE CD or remove the hard drive then install it as a slave in another system (that is clean and protected +++) then scan/clean it there … most of the times that removes these threats … i have done this many times as i do this for a living. …
this is like full on scam, totally run by russian mafia , no bull got inside on this one
Still running with no problems after haveing microsoft tech taking remote control and removing the xp antivirus.
DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO REMOVE THE VIRUS. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
THANK YOU
Why are the makers of this XP virus not in front of a firing squad as we speak?
I woul dlike an answer.
It is like they have broken into a million plus homes…
That is pretty serious if you ask me….
Go here and run this scanner. It belongs to Microsoft. I don’t know why they don’t advertise this more. This not only removes XPAntivirus but also optimizes your PC. Mine is running much better now that I ran the Full Service Scan. Hey – maybe Microsoft did something right.
