I have a new problem now, I got "Rapid Antivirus". I know it is a virus, I can't remove it manualy. I checked my system with Nod32 and anti-malware. but it wasn't useful. I have another program, it name is spyhunter. it can find the viruses, but it is needed to register for removing them. And I can't register it, because it wants Credit card number and don't have it. Somebody told me you can find spyware doctor in this website. "www.pctools.com". I know it have it. but I am from Iran, And I can't access to it. I want 2 things of you.
1) send the file that i talked about.
2) tell me another way to solve the problem please.
remeber:
I don't have Credit Card so I want a free one. And I want that is not needed to register.
Thank you

Forget SpyHunter. See the top link to tell you more why you should avoid SpyHunter. Spyware Doctor is a good program but somewhat quiet on the "Free scanning" where it's not free to remove. Follow the bleepingcomputer removal guide and it's free to use.

Both have free to use basic programs.

These virus's put themselves in the Startup list so you cant remove them. You can only remove a program that isn't running. If you know where the virus is you can go to Start/Run. Type in 'msconfig' /Enter. from the General tab pick Selective Startup and untick the Load Startup Items box.

Restart the PC and you can now delete the virus manually. When finished return to the dialog box and select Normal Startup and restart you PC again.

Your anti virus should now recognise and will clean up any stray files.

Good Luck Mate.

Spyhunter is a terrible program anyway so we can skip that

Spyware Doctor requires registration



So to remove Rapid Antivirus I would recommend scanning with these two antimalware programs

Download and update

The free versions can detect and remove

Malwarebytes AntiMalware

http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

and

SuperAntiSpyware

http://www.superantispyware.com/



Scan in Safe Mode(press f8 while booting)

in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you

delete it manually. then run ccleaner to cleand your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.

what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.

even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.
