How do I get rid of the “Windows Antivirus” spyware/virus?
Question by mama ♥: How do I get rid of the “Windows Antivirus” spyware/virus?
I have the “Windows Antivirus” spyware/virus. The one that has the little caution triangle in the corner and says “Windows has detected spyware infection…”
I did a search on Yahoo! Questions and tried all the suggestions. And so far I have downloaded Ad Aware, Norton, and Super Anti Spyware and none of them got rid of it!
How do I get rid of it? I can’t do anything on my computer with this darn thing on here!!!

*SmitFraudFix is a tool that S!Ri created to remove rogue anti-spyware applications that utilize Trojans to issue fake
taskbar security alerts or that change your background in order to scare you into purchasing the full commercial version of their software..
These infections are difficult to remove and are usually bundled with so much other malware,
that traditional antispyware or antivirus programs have difficult completely cleaning these infections.
Due to this a specialized tool was created in order to help a user clean their system of these infections.
I had that 2 months ago. You can download everything under the moon, it may not help. Save all your files on portable disks(Music, files, pics, etc.) Now, you need to reformat the disk. To do this, turn off computer.Turn back on, and then hit F10. Go to advanced options, Next, Yes, Yes. Your computer is good as new. Don’t forget to save those files because they will be gone once you reformat.

Hi,
You should use “NoAdware”. It’s extremely effective. I don’t have anymore problem with spyware, pop-up, Trojan or computer viruses. I came across this software in PC World Magazine. Featured as the top spyware/ Trojan remover. Now, you can download and try for FREE. Check it out here:

Your PC is probably infected with adware & spyware if:
* You have downloaded music online
* Your PC is running extremely slow
* You are pestered by those horrible popup ads
* Your homepage keeps changing

I purchased there spyware removal tool and it did wonders for my machine. I havent been infected in months, you can even select an option to have it pop up saying a infection has been stopped or just have it do it without notification!
