Anti Virus 360

[Wholley]

This program has suddenly arrived.
It is supposed to be a Microsoft product although I doubt it is.
Keeps sending me warnings and shutting down my machine like it just did.
Prob is I can't get rid of it as it doesnt show up in"Add-Remove"
Help anyone?

Not to sure if this will be any help Wholley but I googled it for you and found this site:

http://www.removal-instructions.com/rem ... us360.html

It says "Antivirus360 is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false spyware results to lure you to purchase its full version. Antivirus360 is an updated version of Antivirus 2008".

Let me know how you get on. Im sure someone else here will be able to help more if that doesnt work.

Just download Spybot Search and Destroy from here (its a free program)

First off install the Search and Destroy, then restart the computer but this time during boot up keep pressing F8. That will bring up a menu of ways to start your computer, select Safe Mode without Networking and hit the Enter key. This time once you get to the start screen find the Search and Destroy icon on your desktop and run it, just click on the 'Check for Problems' button and let it scan.

After it has done its thing it should have removed it all. Restart the computer again but let it start up normally this time and see if it has gone.

Used to use Spybot on my old computer.
For some reason I forgot to install it on this one(Must be old age)
Thank-you both for your assistance.
