The 2 tools "Combofix" Malwarebytes Anti Malware have finally done the job. Other programs were not so efficient.

I had a problem removing virus remover 2008. Every time I rebooted, the problem was still there. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti Malware. It worked perfectly. Virus Remover 2008 is now gone from my computer.
