subject: Remove Win7 AV-How to Get Rid of this Spyware off Your PC [print this page] Win 7 Antispyware 2010 is a new form of malware that changes its appearance depending on the operating system running on a user's computer. If the computer is running Windows 7, the spyware program calls itself Win 7 Antispyware 2010. If the computer is running Windows Vista, the program changes itself to Antivirus Vista 2010 and if Windows XP is running it becomes XP Internet Security 2010. In all cases, this rogue program will automatically scan your computer and produce a false security report. It will then prompt you to purchase a full license in order to fix these fake security threats. Do not fall for this scam; call your credit card company to dispute charges if you did purchase it.
In order to get rid of Win7 AV, there are two things you can do. The first method many people use is to try and manually remove the virus from your system, by deleting the files & directories which it requires to run. Because this program is basically a software tool, it has a series of files and settings which it uses to run. Most people try and delete these files to get rid of the virus. You can try this yourself by deleting the folder below on your system:
C:Program FilesWin7-AV
Although manual deletion of this folder may allow a brief respite from the virus, it's generally the case that the infection will continue to show itself again & again as it will just rely on hidden files inside your PC to come back. It's because this virus has a series of hidden files that it's recommended you use a professional tool to get rid of it, instead of the manual method.
Security experts recommend removing Win7 AV right after its detection on your system. If you have noticed any above mentioned signs on your computer please make sure to run a full system scan with a reputable antispyware program.
