subject: How To Get Rid of AWM Antivirus - Uninstall AWM Antivirus Quickly and Easily [print this page] Lately I've been flooded with questions about AWM Antivirus. It's from the same family as A-Fast Antivirus, and it's spread the same way, through Trojans and fake online scanners. You'll receive a gluttony of alerts if you're infected, and your PC will run as slow as a tortoise. This spyware can potentially damage our pc hardware and software, as well as personal identity, thus we must remove AWM Antivirus as quickly as possible.
When you are infected with AWM Antivirus you will receive constant warnings such as this one: Critical System Warning!
Your system is probably infected with a version of Trojan-Spy.HTML.Visafraud.a. This may result in website access passwords being stolen from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook etc. Click Yes to scan and remove threats (recommended).
Additionally, your browser may be 'hijacked' meaning your searches are redirected to pages loaded with more spyware. Also, your legitimate programs, including virus removal tools and other software, can become blocked by this virus. You will need to follow the removal instructions to get rid of this threat.
Because of the nature of this virus, we have to delete AWM Antivirus before it causes serious damage to our computer or our identity. You can remove it either manually or automatically. A manual removal is only recommended for IT Professionals, and involves editing the system registry. If you are comfortable doing such work, then you will have to kill the exe process, delete the registry values in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folders, and delete related files and folders. The full listing can be found on my website.
Automatic removal is what I use and what I recommend, because it takes less time, and saves me the frustration and energy of a corrupt registry if a single error is made. Most importantly, the automatic removal tools that I recommend will protect a user's PC against the next tidal wave of spyware that is around the corner. Our bank accounts and personal identities are too valuable not to protect.
Sick and tired of worrying about damaging spyware?Remove AWM Antivirus now! Start with a free scan, and regain your safety.
