Hi,

Download, install, update and scan with the free:

Malwarebytes.org

That should do it. It is free as long as you update and scan manually.

Remove Advanced Virus Remover (Removal Instructions)

Hope it helps

The file is infected. Please activate your antivirus software." i ran a virus scan, got nothing. I even tried a full restore, since i just got this computer monday, and it was still there.

Any help on removing this program?

The best way to remove a program is to reinstall it first and then uninstall it. I have been using an absolutely brilliant uninstaller called REVO. And it's free!! and a million times better than the Windows uninstaller. It will go all through the registry deleting everything connected with the software.

Hi Graham ,

Yes Revo is excellent - I have been using it a long time.

However, the OP has AdvanceVirusRemover - that is MALWARE, despite the name - much better to use a specialised malware remover.

Thanks a lot guys! The Malware progrom got rid of it in the first try. I really appreciate the fast responses. This forum is good lol
