How to remove AntiAID?
What is AntiAID?
AntiAID is a new rogue anti-spyware program in the WiniSoft family of rogues. Unlike most rogues in this family, AntiAID has a different kind of GUI – apparently the other one got a bit old after being used countless times. Other than that, AntiAID is much the same as any other rogue: it uses trojans to infect the system, typically by disguising them as flash downloads or codec downloads, and relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.
Once inside, AntiAID floods the user with popups and fake system notifications supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. This information is false, but AntiAID will back these claims up by performing fake system scans, which mark harmless files as threats. After doing that AntiAID urges the user to purchase the “full version” in order to dispose of the non-existen threats.
AntiAID blocks legitimate security software, hijacks the browser, and disables certains system services, such as System Restore, Safe Mode, Task Manager, and Registry Editor.
Do NOT trust this parasite, and remove AntiAID as soon as you’ve detected it’s presence on the system.

Manual AntiAID removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove AntiAID, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Spyware Doctor or other malware and spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

AntiAID is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only AntiAID can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AntiAID trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AntiAID offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AntiAID does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiAID, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install AntiAID, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiAID, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
