What is Antivirus System 2009?
Antivirus System 2009 is the same parasite as Antivir System PRO (Antivirus System PRO), with only a name difference in between them.

The parasite is also likely to hijack the browser and significantly decrease system performance.

Hello, I’ve been really struggling against Antivirus System Pro, so far my McAfee have been working constantly to block the trojan worms. It’s battle between Antivirus System Pro and McAfee. I’m gonna try your recommendation on automatic spyware removal. Please contact me. Thank you.

I don’t know how I got it but it started with Adobe reader 7. I wish I knew when I first saw Zone Alarm asking for permission to allow this program access. I think what happened was I visited a site with a pdf and I was prompted to upgrade my reader. Obviously the reader upgrade was a fake. I clicked allow, believing I needed it to see a page I was viewing and after that a program called ld11.exe wanted access. I denied it but it continued unhindered (how, I know not) and began to install av system pro which promptly behaved as described above. I used security task manager to promptly halt the suspicious processes and quarantine the executable files. I did a complete system scan and ran malwarebytes to clean everything out and restart. Everything seems normal now though I keep a close eye on things.
There are bad PDF files as well. Many unpatched PDF readers have various vulnerabilities, so updating them is good thing. Though it is best to download latest Reader directly from Adobe and not from some 3rd party website.
I got Anti virus system Pro from surfthechannel.com in my quest for free tv. This version disabled my AVG and Ad-aware software, then when I got on the internet it did not allow me to even do a google search that had anything to do with virus’s or computer security. It allowed me to search for anything else. I tried to fool it by loading up a proxy site but no luck. Eventually I gave up and had to wipe my computer. Its a tricky bastard thats for sure.
Hi,
I have tried to get rid of the Antivirus System Pro by using the automatic spyware removal as it was suggested on this website. Unfortunately, it was not successful, because the virus blocked the spyware removal from being used. Is there any (if possible, free) alternative to it? Thanks for any comments.
Go to the directory you have spyware doctor installed. rename the application to something else and try again.
Alternatively you could try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org) or ESET’s NOD32
No use, Antivirsystem pro, or anything similar not found.
What next
Try out ESET Nod32 (comment above) . Also, have you updated Spyware Doctor? There are streaks of Antivirsystem Pro that needs either updates or version with antivirus.
Ugh, I ‘ve been trying to delete this sucker for hours. It will not let my computer acess the internet. My AIM and MSN both work, but not the internet. I used this thing called malware bytes on safe mode, and it deleted most of them, but theres still something on my computer which causes it to continue popping up. I’m so desperate, and I can’t afford to have my computer re-done. Is there anything else I can do without accessing the internet??
elnaz: Use usb drive to bring programs to your PC. Malwarebytes cant remove whole parasite in your case, so there should be some hidden trojans runing.
Does Malwarebytes really remove the stinky virus or whatever it is?!?!Because like I’m trying it out right now but im scared what if it doesn’t work. My parents will have a fit. To make matters worse this porn website keeps popping up. I NEED SEIOUS HELPPPPP!!!!!! And fast
I could the virus on Nov. 14…through a pdf file, I think. I tried running the scan to remove it but the virus shut it down. I called Geek Squad (it was after midnight) and they said the best thing to do for the time being would be to shut down my computer. I did and the damn thing restarted on its own – twice. So I have since unplugged it and am currently waiting on a friend of a friend, who is an IT specialist to come over and remove it. If he doesn’t pull through I’m going to have to take it to a repair shop which is gonna cost an arm and a leg…The only reason I’m not going insane without internet access is because I’m housesitting and they have a computer, Thank God!
Someone used my computer and got this shit onto it. So far I have learned that it will mostly block your current Spy Ware removal such as SpyBot S&D and AVG etc. But if you keep trying to open the programs you want, eventually you can on the 4th or 5th try. But nevertheless, after you get on and run a proper scan and it finds all these trojans, you can’t remove them in any way.
I personally wish and pray for whoever is behind the creation of this virus, that they get cancer and then while hoping for a positive recovery they get robbed, beaten, and have their eyes cut out while they lay with their backs on top of a stove with all 4 burners set to maximum. Then after half hour of that I wish them to be thrown into a -40 celsius environment, naked and slowly chewed on by soft baby polar bears as they succumb to their fate.
I used malwarebytes and Rkill, and didn’t while it SEEMINGLY took care of the problem, when I restarted my computer the whole process just started again. What a royal pain in the ass. I’m going to try again.
Simon : do a scan with Spyware Doctor before reboot. If it detects parasites after malware bytes removes them, then it means you should go with spyware doctor
So…somehow I got this and I’mnot really sure how. Anyways, where do I input those directions on my computer so that I can get rid of the virus?
XP Service Pack 2 with the latest updates.
This hit my Wife’s PC a few weeks ago, no idea how she got it though. I knew right away it was a fake, having seen the same thing on a friends computer previously. Lucky, our Antivirus kept it silent for a while. (The rouge never actually managed to run.) Yesterdsay, we downloaded some new definitions and after a full scan found 10 files to be deleted. Happily thinking the problem may have been solved we nuked em.
The rouge is back now, and with a vengeance. We seem to have an updated version compared to the one everyone here has encountered. At first, any program you tried to open would greet with you with a Dialog Box that said “This program is infected, would you like to turn on your antivirus?” I assume choosing yes would take you to the website to purchase their trash.
After I chose no, any program I attempted to open, even MS Paint or Task Manager would close instantly. This made it impossible to back up files, run antivirus programs, or do anything aside from buy their trash. The rouge wouldn’t even let me shut my computer down, stating that there was an adobe page open in my internet browser. Did I want to close it? Choosing Yes did nothing.
Did a hard reboot, started up in safe mode. Poked around the registry and c: drive, didn’t see any of the files or keys mentioned in the guide. Going to try a system restore to three weeks back, if that doesn’t work then I’m just going to back everything up while in safe mode and nuke the HD.
I’m so glad I don’t have to take this thing to a tech… if I didn’t have the basic knowledge that I do it would cost me hundreds to get this taken care of.
I’m in some real trouble here. I don’t know where we got this thing, but we sure do have it. I tried to download Spyware Doctor and it blocks it from starting after the download. PLEASE HELP!
Am I doomed?
I tried to open Malwarebytes, which failed. I renamed it’s files and tried to open it agian, which failed.
I can’t download any more antiviruses, because when I try to open said antiviruses, I get blocked by Antivirus System pro.
any help?
Nic : rename the executable to whatever.pif or whatever.bat
Had this appear the other day. I have very little knowledge but I found one way to hunt down the blighter if you’re having trouble finding what it’s calling itself.
I noticed if you right click on any of the ‘anti-virus pro’ pop-ups it gives you a directory location. Then you can boot up in safe mode and erase them. I don’t think this is a thorough enough method and IE is still buggered (simply will not connect to the net despite other programs having no problem) but thought this might be of use to Cyrik.
I had the same problem as Cyrik. An Avira scan from the second partition of my harddisk helped to get rid of about 1.000 virusfiles. Still, nothing changed. Fortunately, I was able to restore the infected windows xp to an older version, before I got the thing. You have to do it quick, right after starting up windows, before AVS pro is able to fully start. Until now, the system seems stable.
Hey guys, If you remove antivirus pro and still can’t connect to the internet through internet explorer, it means that AVP has changed your proxy settings. To fix this, select Tools -> Internet Options. Go to the ‘Connections’ tab and click the ‘LAN Settings’ button. De-Select the proxy option and re-select the ‘Automatically detect Settings’. Then you should be good to go.
thanks
