Antivirus XP 08 virus

[Jonny Rochester]

I think it was a link on this forum that got me the virsus. Anyhow. I still need some help getting fully rid of this. Most of the info from google on this also want you to pay money or lead you into other tricks. Or, my computer crashes just beofre the scan finished. Or the virus won't even let me download the antivirus etc.... So frustrating.

Anyone sucessfuly beat this? And restored the background tab?

"Antivirus XP 08" is the name of a virus, or malware or whatever. It is a fake antivirus that is evil. Mostly evil, in that it will waste a few hours of your time getting rid of it.
