Hey, I got that virus myself. Personally, I just stopped Antivirus XP from startup, and then i run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in deep scan mode (including all hard disks, c: d:) that resolve the problems for me. The following was taken from another user...



"This is how I got rid of Antivirus XP 2008. It is different than the XP Antivirus 2008 most sites refer to.



First you need to stop the program from loading on startup. This is what you do to stop it:



Start, run



Type msconfig



Go to Startup tab



Uncheck lphc35dj0e1an

Uncheck rhc75dj0e1an



Click apply, then ok

Restart computer





Then you need to delete the main files this program uses. Delete the following file:



C:\windows\system32\lphc35dj0e1an.exe



Delete the following folder and all contents:



C:\program files\rhc75dj0e1an



This should remove the program from your system but you probably still have a warning message displayed as your wallpaper in Windows and the virus removed the ability to change the wallpaper or your desktop settings.



To restore ability to change your desktop settings and select a different wallpaper and screen saver do the following:



Start, run



type Gpedit.msc



Navigate to User configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display



Right click on Remove Display in Control Panel

Click on Properties and select Disabled



Do the same steps to change the following attributes to disabled:



Hide Desktop Tab

Prevent changing wallpaper

Hide Apperance and Themes tab

Hide Settings tab

Hide Screen Saver tab



You should now be able to use your computer normally and change the wallpaper to something other than the warning message Antivirus XP 2008 set it to."



Hope this helps!
