How to remove Antivirus GT?
What is Antivirus GT?
Antivirus GT is a rogue antispyware program that is distributed to computers through Win32/FakeXPA Trojan virus. Once computer is infected, Antivirus GT completely takes over the system. You start receiving tons of fake pop up messages stating about some malicious files detected that may cause security issues to your system.
Despite the fact that you did not install anything by yourself, you will soon notice a phony scanner running after each computer reboot. Antivirus GT uses this tactics in order to convince you into thinking it’s a legitimate threat remover. The scanner reports about some infections and recommends removing them by purchasing Antivirus GT. However, the files that Antivirus GT reports as infections are either your legitimate Windows programs or some nonexsistent files. Then the program reroutes to some malicious website promoting Antivirus GT as a reputable antipyware program. The payment for Antivirus GT can be made at this website as well. Do not reveal your credit card details under any conditions there, if you don’t want to be ripped off.
Moreover, Antivirus GT tends to hijack your Internet browser and block most of the websites. Instead it constantly redirects to the one promoting Antivirus GT. Beware That Antivirus GT is a fake application that has nothing in common with a reputable antispyware program. Please remove Antivirus GT from your system as soon as you notice any of the symptoms of its existence.

Antivirus GT 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 Antivirus GT can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Antivirus GT trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Antivirus GT offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Antivirus GT 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 Antivirus GT, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

@alien bob help me Reading the above and following the instructions would help you…
On August 8th I somehow wound up being billed twice. I would like a credit for one copy please. Is there a phone no. I can call to clear this problem. I also have some questions about the Antivirus GT. It still seems to be in my computer even after running your Spy Doctor. Thanks. Is there a help phone Number please?
Les ODonnell: Try updating spyware doctor before running the scan. The update might require reboot. If it fails, pctools support will help.
i have no money to be able to buy anything to get rid of it. is there any way to do it for free?
Follow the manual instructions. Spyware Doctor might help to locate infected files for free.
the program blue screens my computer and i cant do anything
If you can’t boot, its either reinstall time or repair shop time.
What’s the point of a free scan?? I don’t need to be told I have a problem on my computer because I already knew that. Why don’t you explicity state that it’s a free scan but NOT A FREE SOLUTION.
Biff : You are wrong. Spyware doctor provides information about which files and registry keys are affected. You can delete these, or modify according keys. Also, it blocks some of parasite processes from launching.
How does the router get infected? Am I vulnerable just by having the infected laptop logged onto my home network? Also, can I just download Spyware Doctor to a clean pc and then copy on to the infected laptop then running the program without doing any manual cleaning? Have tried to run some other spyware programs and message comes back that Windows doesn’t allow program to run. I think Antivirus GT has total control!
If a router has no or default password (or there is a known vulnerability), scammers might connect to them and upload their firmware or change DNS servers to malicious ones. The best way to handle this is setting router DNS servers to auto detect or google ones ( 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4)
Spyware Doctor should be run in safe mode with networking. It should install there, but you might need to stop Antivirus GT processes first.
