Hi,

If anyone could help me or provide me with any suggestions on removing this program it would be greatly appreciated!

I recently was infected by PC_Antispyware and by mistake I clicked on the pop-up which told me to click to remove a virus. After I clicked the pop-up box I realized my mistake when the program started to upload itself.

To make a long story short I have downloaded many different spyware removal programs (which most are blocked from running). I have the full version of spy doctor but that does not seem to remove all of the components of this program. I tried spy bot, which was my preference, but it comes up with an error every time I try to run the program. This has happened to about 5 or 6 other spyware removal programs I have tried to use.

I have also tried manually removing the program but I think I may have missed some files and I am a little uncomfortable with doing so as I am not a computer Guru. I also ran Spy doctor in Safe Mode and tried installing and running programs like Spy Bot but I was still unable to remove the infection.

If anyone has any suggestions because I am not sure what else to do.

Thanks for your help!

Download Process Explorer

Rename Procexp.exe to iexplore.exe and run the program. Find and kill PC Antispyware processes. Should be the following:

PC_Antispyware2010.exe
Uninstall.exe
jugifyryve.exe

Then download MalwareBytes anti-malware or ComboFix.

IMPORTANT! Rename ComboFix.exe to Combo-Fix.exe before saving it onto your computer. Then follow the prompts.

I also have this virus.I have installed the program you listed and renamed it to iexplore.exe. I have ended the process of the program. However, there are no processes labelled uninstall.exe active on my computer. The same with the next one, whatever the heck its called. I know I have this virus (its pretty obvious), so have they changed the names of the executables, or what? Im no good with computers (i see you get this a lot), so please be patient. Thanks!

Hello edgar,

PC_Antispyware2010.exe is the main process. Just end it and run MalwareBytes anti-malware or ComboFix.
Note: must rename the instaler before running. For example rename mbam-setup.exe to test123.exe
