Have your machine infected by the Antivirus Live viru? Do you feel it is not easy to remove it? In fact, Antivirus Live is one of many fake antivirus applications like Advanced Virus Remover and Internet Security 2010, that are really rogue viruses that take your computer hostagethen they tell you that your computer is infected by viruses, and you have to pay them to get rid of the fake viruses that aren't really there. They block virtually everything you try and run, including real anti-malware tools. Now today we will take a look at how to remove Antivirus Live.
Remove Antivirus Live
Firstly, reboot your computer and hit the F8 key right before Windows starts loading (you can hit it a bunch of times). Then select the Safe Mode with Networking option.
Remember to fix the internet connection to work in advance since Antivirus Live changes IE to use a fake proxy server that prevents you from getting to anything else and will also prevent you from installing and updating a real anti-malware software.
Now you need to install SuperAntiSpyware which you have hopefully downloaded via another computer already, but safe mode with networking should allow you to download and install it.
It's going to do some analysis once you load it up.
Now you can see the full application screen where you'll want to use the Check for Updates button to make sure you have the latest definitions. Once finish it, click the "Scan your Computer" button.
In the new screen, select your primary drive at lease (though you should pick all the drives), and then click the "Perform Complete Scan" button.
Wait for a while patiently since it'll run for a long time, detect a bunch of stuff, and then you can proceed through the wizard to actually removing it all.
After it's all done, you can reboot the PC again (just make sure to go back into Safe Mode again).
Next you'll want to install Malwarebytes, make sure to check the Update tab for the latest definitions, and then perform a full scan of your system
Actually Malwarebytes will find even more malware that SuperAntiSpyware missed (seems like you always need more than one util to get it all). Just be sure to click the "Remove Selected" button to get rid of the rest.
Finally you'll want to reboot your system, and then install Microsoft Security Essentials and run another full scan (recommended).
