Hello Arvind,

I found same problem such as Vista Anti Virus 2008 in client machine, but i could resolve with Latest MWAV in safe mode. Even it could remove in normal mode.

I seen Vista Anti Virus named as VAV in program file, it all entries caught by MWAV & removed, further i found in registry vav.exe in various location, it also could be removed.

Hence, such spyware could removed still problem, pls provide me RAD.

Hello tarique me also woeking for microworld kolkata, and i have already done the following steps and got rid of that problem, but my point was that the software called antivirxp08 gets installed in the system, and its also shown under add or remove programs, inspite of remote access file rights being enabled, it gets installed, so i was asking if there is some way to block it from getting installed in your machine.

Dear Arvind,

This is authenticated software, mean to say user might click on spyware or wallpaper/screensave website & it gets downloaded.

If you do not want to use regedit, you may use free utility Revo Uninstaller
It will remove XP Antivirus & will show all registry entries of XP Antivirus, then select all & Delete.
