Antivirus 2009

[edmer]

Recently my computer got infected with Antivirus 2009. I have been able to
remove it and all its files, and icons. But I still have folder remaining
in my (taskbar and task menu properties) in the (Customize Options) Is there
some way to remove it from there?

RE: Antivirus 2009

Install Malwarebytes, and run it in Safe Mode.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

Download, install, and update.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes while in Safe Mode.
