Cheers mate, worked like a charm.
I used Spybot S&D First... removed some, registry files were gone. But the pav.exe was still present, just went to C:\\program Files\PersonalAV, deleted the whole folder(shift+delete) (or is it //?)

Well, thanks again. My friend's happy that the stupid thing is gone now. Rage.

I tried the 'easy' way to remove, but step 6 did not occur. Also, I couldn't findstep 9 and 10 , the personal antivirus was not removed. I was wondering if it might be different for Vista? I will try to do the manual removal, though I'm no expert on computers. Thanks for providing these instructions for free!

First a great big thank you, I finally got the software off the computer by using your staps above. I had to do it three times but it worked...

However now when I am on the internet, regardless of the site, it pops up and says site blocked or dangerous and gives me to the option to install the personel antivirus software or continue unprotected. If I choose to continue it keeps pop that up and never lets me go to the web site? Anymore suggestions?

THANKS,

Michelle Creech

I found this was the only removal instructions I could use without cost. Any company that charges has an interest in ensuring viruses continue (although I am sure not all are so unethical). The only problem I had was that using Windows XP I think I should have gone to safe mode when prompted? instead of rebooting because i missed out on the prompt to 'replace infected file?'

How can I send a donation to your cause?

Please help. I cannot get this annoying pest of a fake antivirus software off of my laptop. I tried doing your first "easy" way and it didn't work. Then I tried your manual 2nd way and some of the processes in the taskmanager won't let me delete them. I tried to delete WINLOGON.EXE for instance, and it says it is unable to terminate process because it is a critical system process. Please help in any way you can, I will do anything to get this off of my laptop!

I tried everything described above and while it is removed, for some reason when I go into IE, any websites requiring name and password((MMORPG sites, etc)) I still get a blocking command

thing is when I go into Firefox it isn't there. I don;t know if it is still installed
