I write this mainly because the Antivirus 2009 is a malware infection that is particularly difficult to remove.

You can’t just uninstall it easily even though there is an uninstaller on the add remove window, it doesn’t work.

Antivirus 2009 claims to find all kinds of trojans and problems when run and then offers to fix them if you buy the full version. Here’s what it looks like when it is run.

What’s insidious is that this program claims you are infested with all sorts of bad things even if none of them are actually present on your system. What’s for certain is that you should NEVER buy this product, it’s computer extortion.
If you have purchased this antivirus 2009 software to get rid of this stupid thing, call and cancel the charges with your credit card company.

Free tools and advice.

Hijack This is a useful utility for identifying malware and other things that go bump in the night.

Hijack This may have the following registry entries

O2 – BHO: &Research – {037C7B8A-151A-49E6-BAED-CC05FCB50328} – C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsrc.dll
O4 – HKCU\..\Run: [75319611769193918898704537500611] C:\Program Files\Antivirus 2009\av2009.exe
O4 – HKCU\..\Run: [ieupdate] “C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieupdates.exe”

Click HERE for a locally hosted version.

I’ve renamed the installer to keep this bug from preventing it’s execution.

Once installed, open my computer, C:, Program files,Malware Bytes.

Right click mbam.exe and copy

Right click and paste.

You will see a new file called copy of mbam.exe appear,

Execute this version as it will run where the other version has been blocked by antivirus 2009.

Please download gmer here (renamed to cmer.exe) and excecute it to be certain you are not infected with a rootkit. If you find yourself infected, please call me immediately.
