    How do you uninstall Personal Antivirus

    I accidentally install the personal antivirus thinking that it was from my real virus protection and instead installed this mess of a program that's totally ruining my computer. It won't give me the option of uninstalling it either. I have looked at websites trying to get rid of it and I just keep getting the same one and it doesn't help at all. Does anyone know what I can do? My mom is going to be pissed when all these pop ups about viruses that don't even exist keep popping up 24/7. And, it won't let me on a bunch of websites either. Ahh! Help please, asap!!!!!! Thanks!!!

    Hey buddy,

    The personal antivirus is nothing bu the spyware which uses trojans, fake online malware scanners and advertising for distribution on the internet. This kind of advertisement always popup and tell you that you are infected so that you download them and once you click on it they will automatically install themselves in your machine. If it is not deleted from the Add/remove program then you need third party software to uninstall the same. There are lots of the software are there which will delete the registry key of the same.

    Thanks
