Thousands of people have been tricked into installing personal antivirus. This is affecting computers everywhere and people are fighting to remove it. If you think it is infected, you should remove it immediately.

This can cause serious damage not only to your computer but also to your pocket. It corrupts registry entries and creates pop-ups all over your screen, driving you crazy. It’s not just annoying, it’s also a danger to your bank account. It can use a secret backdoor you install to steal your passwords and credit card information and when it’s too late you’ll discover that your cards have been used and your accounts compromised.

Before removing this, you need to know how you got infected in the first place. So nothing like that happens again.

The most common way to get infected with this is by malicious websites that install this on your computer, usually in the background without you realizing it, until it’s too late. Another favorite method is to have someone you don’t know contact you via IM and ask you to watch a video, which installs this.

You can protect yourself against this by changing the security settings in your web browser, but even this won’t protect you. If you set the settings too high, nothing will be installed, not even the original software. The solution is to scan your computer daily for spyware and be careful what you install on your computer.

There are two ways to remove this malicious code from your computer. Manually or automatically. The manual method requires you to edit your registry and remove any files associated with it. The problem is that the file names keep changing to prevent you from knowing what to delete and deleting the wrong files will corrupt your Windows installation beyond repair.

The easiest way to remove personal antivirus is automatically. You can scan your computer’s registry and files to see if it is present on your computer and quickly remove it without risk, using a removal tool.

Scan your computer now for free and remove all those annoying pop-ups and dangerous spyware before it’s too late.
