WinPC antivirus removal?

Question

I wasn't on my computer for a few days and I came home to it being downloaded on. Weird to me because of my firewall and protectors, so someone won't admit they touched something, but it's w/e. What I need to know is how to remove it from my computer, that spyware doctor only scans it but doesn't remove it w/o pay and I'd rather not.

I have spybot search and destroy but it won't start, won't open and doesn't even show up on task manager. I scanned my computer with avg 8.0 but it didn't remove the winpc antivirus. I'm positive spybot would but I've already uninstalled and installed it twice and it still won't run. I could try to manually remove it not being completely ignorant but I'd rather not seeing as I'm no expert.

Any and all help is appreciated.

If you want to protect your computer system in the future you need to use antivirus software and firewall. You should also start using Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE because it is much safer.

I had this problem today. I found your question here while I was trying to find out why AVG didn't stop it. I downloaded some software called Malawarebytes anti malware, found it in google, it automatically updated after installation. Then I restarted my computer but pressed F8 a few times while it started and selected Safe Mode. I opened Malaware and ran a full scan. Then I selected to remove the items it found. After this I rebooted my machine and it was gone. Hope this works for you.

Stole from another poster:



Remove any Virus protection already installed.

Start > Control Panel > System > System Restore > Turn off system restore.... These will be infected and most security programs are prohibited from getting in here by microsoft.
