    AVE.exe is giving fake windows security center alerts and system tray icon

    I am facing a very unusual situation in my computer, that is AVE.exe is giving fake windows security center alerts and system tray icon. I am very irritated by this issue because of which I need to know hoe to get rid of this AVE.exe. I can see its processes running in the task manager. Actually, the Avira antivirus that I am using is not helping me to remove the same. My computer is running Windows Vista operating system and my browser is Mozilla Firefox.

    Try doing a boot scan

    I suppose that you must try doing a boot scan, if AVE.exe is giving fake windows security center alerts and system tray icon. This feature of boot scanning is not available with all the antivirus because of which you will have to install Quick Heal antivirus. This scan will start before the operating system loads because of which the infections will remain inactive at this time. This is so, as the infections cannot execute before the startup of the operating system.
