For Advisory parallel to this concern

Its becoming common this days just be advised about links attached via
e-mails, IM message and private message on social networking site that point
out/convey links
and suddenly you can be prompted by a flash update, download or codec...
Anti-virus 2008 is just one of 3 end product malwares that comes with the
package the most visible on is ANtivirus 2008.

I'll have to take everyone's word on this: I've never HAD a virus or
malware infestation in 17+ years online - and I've never had any
protection program find one before it infested - so I don't know from
experience if it's better than others or not.

Besides, spammers rarely post on topic. Turn your spam-catcher

After more thought, I probably should have known about that
program since it's been mentioned here and in the other vista groups
so often.
I probably was too busy trying to find someone
to be rude to to notice.

I don't know where you went but Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) is free.
Yes, there is a commercial version but you don't need to buy MBAM to use
it.

As for getting rid of XP Antivirus 2009:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/uninstall-antivirus-2009

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or
how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.

then nearly half way down
Tools Needed for this fix:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/malwarebytes/mbam-setup.exe
(but you will need the first link for instructions.)

Having had a brush with Antivirus 2009 earlier today when pop-ups appeared
and my browser would not close via the top-right [X] nor via the Task Bar
and I resorted to killing it using CTRL-ALT-DEL to fire up the Task Manager,
I have now successfully downloaded and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which
I can now confirm is available from the page and download link indicated in
my earlier posting (below) and that it is free for non commercial use. A
link on the user interface points to Malwarebytes Online Store where a
"Protection Module" can be purchased for 17.45 pounds sterling.

Happily an initial Quick Scan (Time elapsed: 2 minutes, 28 seconds) and a
subsequent Full Scan (Time elapsed: 58 minutes, 27 seconds) both showed zero
infections. I append the second scan log between quote lines.

I am using Vista Home Premium 32bit and a conventional dual core PC. Doug.

My first "smart scan" showed nothing. I ran a full scan yesterday and
it, amusingly, found my on-line poker program to be malware... Hmmmmmmmm

Those are both good sites.

You have a problem, "JBosco". A big problem.

On the contrary, these are both perfectly legitimate and very helpful
sites, and have been hignly recommended by many knowledgeable
technicians for quite some time now.

The site you recommend, on the other hand, looks rather suspicious, at
first glance.
