    Combofix still warning Antivirus Live is running

    Right now, I am getting messages from a fake antivirus which want to sell their product. It is called as AntivirusLive. The web pages open on its own applications are blocked and I do not know how to solve this problem. I had not downloaded anything and due to which it has caused the issue. I have a free antivirus version installed in my system. I am using this for long time but still this entered in my system.

    This is a fake antivirus program and it enters your system with a popup. So first you must block that. Go in firefox and then click on Tools. Then click on Options and then click on Content. Now go in block pop ups. Run an antivirus scan under safe mode and then check back. You must scan your system everyday for that. Do not click on any further offers you get on your desktop.

    There is a easy fix for that. For that you will need RSIT. It is called as random' system information tool. Just download the same it is available on most of the site. You can then just run it by double clicking on it and then let it scan your system. After that you must install Hijackthis Tool. This tool will give you information on the each of the following application running on your system.

    Antivirus Live does not allow me to go online, I always say I have some serious 34 virus in my computer and there is always a home page on the browser that offer me to buy their products. I have AVG not really sure how to update it but it is the free version. I have a small web book I use the time to do it and I was checking the Internet from that to see if I can find anything that will help me to remove this from my computer.

    Have you tried a System Restore in Safe Mode. It works sometime. In my case there is no highlight date in the calendar. Try to boot in safe mode and then run system restore settings. Download and install Spybot S & D to your hard drive and then install it to on your system. Run it. Basically if the error is much annoying then you will need to format your computer and install windows.

    Use a CD or flash drive to transfer over one of these files to run on the infected computer. Try not to restart the computer until one of the tools that we use for you or ask you. The other things you can do is download and install Rkill too. There are around 4 versions of this tool. So you can download each of them and try out the newer one till you get a permanent relief from that.
