How to remove Vista Antispyware 2010?

The Spyware doctor program is a joke. Sure it finds everything, and alludes to providing protection, but you must purchase the program for any removal benefit. Generally, by the time you search of information about removing an adware/malware/virus program, you already know you have it, and a program that reiterates that you have it and guides you where to purchase the license to remove it is as bad as the malware that you are trying to remove.

Hi… I was linked to this site after vista 2010 was destroying my pc… the creator is an absolute lifesaver… biggest gratitude. I’ll be recommending this site

Hi

I’ve done the above. Now none of the .exe files will run.
There’s no .exe assocation in the control panel. What can I do

Thanks
Mark

Vista Antispyware 2010 process running named as ‘MSASCui.exe’ on my compy. Spreadin’ the word.

Holy crap, if this works, I’m in your debt. This stupid ‘Anti’spyware is annoying.

have the vista spyware 2010 rogue.ended process no auto remove tools working.As far as manual removal, none of the registry entries provided on this site are listed in regedit.Uder the headin of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command “(Default)” = “av.exe” /START “%1? %*
for example,
under subdirectory classes, there is no .exe
example 2
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command “(Default)” = “av.exe” /START “%1? %*
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile\shell\open\command “(Default)” = “av.exe” /START “%1? %*
no shell under .exe no secfile in root dir
i am using regedit

IT says unable to delete some files, what should i do about that?

Is there a program to run that is not .exe? The virus directly affects that type of file..so even installing the malware onto a zip drive and then updating it and trying to run it on the affected computer , it prevents the program from running.

i cant delete the files in security center what should i do to get around it?its like what austin has

and some of those registries i was told to delete was my command prompt and internet explorer,this hasnt helped me yet=/

AMAZING. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Hi I have this fake antivirus on my computer, it just appeared there and i cant get rid of it. I doubt i would be able to manually get rid of it but the automatic remover should be okay, the one problem (aside from the actual program) is that it wont let my access the internet it says every site is “unsafe” and when it says continue anyway the link does nothing. So as you can see my problem is that i cant remove it via the automatic remover and am afraid to damage my computer even further by attempting to remove it manually.
how can i gget rid of this thing?

P.S im posting this on a different computer

Spyware Doctor is great. I have and it works like a charm, would not trade it in for anything. So what if you need to buy it,,,, its well worth it.

@Mark Williams
Hey Mark
I am facing the same problem, now all shortcuts are gone. No files will run with double click. I have to right click and then choose “run as administrator”. Can anyone suggest what to do?

- Adhyas

So far, so good! Neither Malwarebytes or Symantec could fully get rid of this mean ass virus. Thanks!

I’m so scared right now this thing looked soooo fake and im only 14… so i decided to look it up on google i hope this works! =]

I did the manual removal and so far this stupid shit hasn’t shown back up like it was when I only stopped the av.exe process. by the way, for those of you who don’t know how to do it manually, click the start button, then click the Run icon, and type in regedit – that will take you to your registry, but seriously do not delete anything other than what this guy listed, you could seriously mess your computer up. if you only delete what he has shown you will be fine.

Death to the bastard{s} that made this virus.
I am 15 years old, worked VERY hard to save up for my computer and now this.

I have the same problem mark williams has.
Any help?

I downloaded the spydoctor program and everything seemed to be working alright. It actually found the threat within a few minutes of starting.

However. my computer then proceeded to freeze and after restarting, obviously the scan was unable to too.

The problem I’ve had, is that every subsequent scan I’ve run since hasn’t picked up the corrupted files, although they’re still in the history. If I buy this program will it still be able remove known threats even if they don’t show up on the scan?

@Tristan
this stupid program will not let me do anything. i cant even log ingto my compouter to try and remove it… what can i do?

my computer wont even load now.. what cvan i do. when i turmn my computer on it goes straight to the stupid program and will not bring up windows. What can i do i need help asap…………..

Alright, I used the updated instructions and the script, and it seems to all work fine now. Thanks.

I can’t find the .exe in the regedit files! I am looking in the Software/Classes but it’s simply not there. I’m running Vista SP1, is it stored somewhere else, or do I need to activate something to be able to see those folders?

I keep deleting the av.exe, but it keeps coming back within 24 hours. It’d driving me crazy! Spyware Doctor tells me I have all the files gone that relate to it, and yet I can’t seem to kill the registry values once and for all.

I’ve done a full scan with Ad-Aware, which has rootkit capabilities, but I’m not sure I trust it to catch everything. Spyware doctor still reports 2 “threats” but I’m not sure how to distinguish between a threat and an infection.

I tried downloading rootkit revealer, but it won’t install because Windows says the program has stopped demanding execution. Perhaps I’ll try reinstalling it in safe mode.

I purchased the license the program told me to buy and the Spyware program went away. Thanks.

It wont let me log on, I put my password in and I get a white screen with this virus shiz all over it. When I do get on, It wont let me run any other spyware programs or the internet. Same problem as all these guys are having.

If I try and manually delete it, will I be able to just take everything off and re-install Windows? Im not bothered about loosing anything as I have just backed it all up. Oh and what are the chances of it now being on my external hard drive…?

I want a Mac.

Thank you to everyone on this website you saved me!

This is a stupid question, but I know nothing about computers; When I chose to download Spyware Doctor, it saves it as spdoc.exe, and I can’t find it on my computer anywhere. I searched for it but nothing comes up. It says its a binary file, but i have no clue how to open those (or even find them, apparently).

Wow vista anti-spyware gave me a real headache! I wanted to say thanks to you guys for that aticle! Easy to find and clear intructions. There’s no way I would have figured this out by myself!

You rock!

Thanks again!

Thanks a lot your instructions for the manual removal are spot on worked very well, and I hope people that come to my free web site for help will also come to your website if they get stuck

all the best
mike

@Adhyas
Hey Adhyas – I have the same problem with .exe – says to create an association in the Set Associations control panel. You figure this out?
Thnx

Thanks for your web page that let me know this is a fake program. I had good luck in that I did a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials (free program) which found and cleaned it off my computer.

First Anti-Virus Live and now this shit. ‘MSASCui.exe’ is the process associated with this rogue. I used Process Explorer instead of Task Manager to find it and kill the process. I’m too lazy right now to do all that extra stuff. Oh by the way Spyware Doctor is helpful even the trial version because it prevents other attacks in real time. Right after I got this rogue, spyware doctor continued to stop other threats

okay I downloaded spyware doctor, internets not being blocked anymore but now none of my computer programs work, spyware doctor blocks sims 3 and i can’t get media player to even start up. What should I do?

Hello, This guide works, but you first need to stop the av.exe by running Task Manager by pressing alt ctrl and delete. If you are not aloud, hopefully you can download security taskmanager and stop av.exe, then do the rest of the steps.

-Absolute life-saver, My anti-virus subscription ended 2 months ago but now im safe

This post really helped.
Manually deleted the virus files and changed the registry entries back to what they should be.
Got rid of the scareware effectively.

** Registry entries need not be deleted, but just undo the changes written by av.exe
( edit to remove upto “……./av.exe” /Start “, “%1? %*” is the orignal contents. )

When I create “fix.reg” and merge it, my computer says that it has successfully merged, but it does not appear in the registry. I have copied the text sorrectly, but it still does not work. Please, is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks this got rid of the virus.

And whoever made the virus i hope you die of unbelieveable agony.

CLARIFICATION TO DIRECTIONS ABOVE

For those of you who no longer can run
(a) Firefox or IE;
(b) any program (except as administrator);

you are not supposed to COMPLETELY remove the HKEY_…\.exe\shell\open\command and HKEY_…\secfile\open\command registry entries. You should simply modify them to match the “IsolatedCommand” entries right below them. (If there isn’t an IsolatedCommand entry, just set it to “%1? %* as it was before. Then things should be relatively okay.

Ryan :The Spyware doctor program is a joke. Sure it finds everything, and alludes to providing protection, but you must purchase the program for any removal benefit. Generally, by the time you search of information about removing an adware/malware/virus program, you already know you have it, and a program that reiterates that you have it and guides you where to purchase the license to remove it is as bad as the malware that you are trying to remove.

You said that. Spyware Doctor, regardless of what the administrator says, doesn’t remove anything until you pay them. No malware is removed. Malwarebytes is a much better program

Whoever made this virus should be hold in prison for the rest of his life.

What happens if you are tricked and purchase it

Okay, I have to admit that I didn’t like having to PAY for this thing to work. But IT WORKED! That annoying “Vista AntiSpyware 2010″ thing was wreaking havoc on my system, and within 2 seconds of clicking that “Remove” button, it was gone. Kinda makes me mad that I spent $60 on MacAfee Antivirus, only to end up paying another $30 for Spyware Doctor, but the latter worked.

Is there a free program that gets rid of this? Please, please, please let there be . . .

So I followed the first steps: Opening up notepad from the Run->command step, pasting these words in it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\secfile]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@=”exefile”
“Content Type”=”application/x-msdownload”

Saving it as a .reg file (or All Files), and then double clicking on it.

There is no Registry Editor prompt window that comes up when I double-click on the saved .reg file. It only comes up in notepad, which is completely useless to me. So how do I run the program?

Thanks,

-John

So, I downloaded the Spyware doctor, but I’m still having complications with having popups for the Vista Antispyware 2010. Is there anything else that I have to do?? Thanks for the help!

workzz

I am having the eact same issue with not being able to access the internet becasue of this Vista Anitspyware thing. Did you figure out what to do? If so could you help out?
@Joe R

I need to get rid of this evil virus, but i down loaded the spyware doctor program but it wont let me open it, i click on run, and it comes up the link need to be opend with an application, but which one!?!
i cant get it to work, and that bloody windows cannot access the specified path bla bla bla thing pops up!
help please!!

I dont know why but when I installed spyware doctor, it scanned and founds a lot of malwares, and fixed it. But after that, the antispyware vista still run. What can I do?

Just log in under another logon that is not affected. then proceed to clean the system, i have one logon that is messed up and wacked the .exe’s, but my other is fine, working on cleaning up now.

I used full scan, and so great that it worked, the vista antispyware was gone. But can I ask a question that not really relevant to this topic? Spyware Doctor has killed many spywares in my lap, except Trojan-Downloaders.Suurch. It comes up again and again everytime I scan my lap. WHat can I do?

someone I know has this parasite on his computer. He doesnt have anything worth saving on his computer, no important files or anything so could we do a complete initialisation and reinstall of the system to get over this?

I tried to install the spyware doctor but its not working !
I cant open it. I think that the antispyware vista blocks the spyware doctor…
I tried to install AVG free anti virus but its not working , too.
please help !
sorry for my bad english

Yes. Fuckin’ thank you. So. Very. Much. I can’t believe I fell for that stupid scam. I only downloaded it because McAfee told me I didn’t have a certain kind of protection…so when I clicked to get it, it brought me to the site for that anti-spyware fraud. This helped a lot and SpyWare Doc is cheap AND found it right away and removed it, along with several other adware threats. This was very helpful. Wish I could get my $60 back, but hey. Shit happens.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I followed steps one to five, and then downloaded and used “Malwarebytes Anti-Malware”, which I downloaded, used, and it did not require any sort of payment.

Thank you for your advice.
There should be a mandatory life sentence for creators of viruses.

Okay wow, I was on Myspace and this STUPID FAKE VIRUS shut down My Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, good thing a few days beforehand i got insanely bored and was reading about viruses, and how some of them do stuff like this. Now I know how to destroy it, but now I have to explain this WHOLE thing to my mom and maybe she will let me download this anti-spyware thing, Spyware Doctor. I bet it won’t work, and my mom will be laming me for this stupid virus that is built into these PC’s!! Or maybe ask my sister.

@itai
I had AVG beforehand!!! I win!

@Tom
aint that the truth

I do ot know how to do what is necessary to remove this virus. I read your instructions but is very afraid of the risk. I am not computer literate. I need to remove this thing from my computer asap. Can you walk me througt the removal.
Fearful,
Dee

the process also hides under the name ave.exe

Hi,
I created the regedit file, but when i go to run i get the error “the administrator has disable registry editing”. I no longer see the “run as administrator” option when right clicking on aps..
After the computer being on for about a minute i get a blue screen..
Help?!?

Please keep in mind that this procedure only TEMPORARILY fixes the problem. It will return. I have removed these entries many times and it returns. The trojan is what causes this problem and no one knows what that is. Since Windows does not know the program is running it cannot be stopped. You will need to reformat your hard drive to get rid of this.

AVG and Spybot Search and Destroy are not up to date with this virus.

So, this Antispyware 2010 showed up on my sister’s computer this morning.

I created and ran the regedit file. Then I ran Spyware Doc, which detected the trojan, but of course couldn’t do anything about it since I haven’t subscribed. So I then ran Malwarebytes and it detected nothing.

So, what next? Guess I should try manually removing it?

I’m installing spyware doctor right now. This isn’t going to make my laptop have a higher risk of getting attack is it?

Worked like a charm…so far. 2 days ago I did exactly as instructed and used Malwarebytes to locate and remove bad files. No more pop-ups. I’m running AvastPro in the background and all is good …so far.

ok I guess I’ll just have to use my credit card to buy the full version before I can remove the damn thing that’s out to steal my credit card details, thanks

GUYS ANYONE HAVE A LINK OR SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT REALLY WORKS THIS PARASITES SHOULD DIE

May I [highly] recommend the SUPERAntiSpyware program for removing this filth.

I ran it immediately when my system got infected and it caught it within minutes and had it wiped from my system entirely in under an hour. It deals with malware extremely well.

Be sure to do run your System Restore afterwards to a previous date just to make sure your system is running smoothly again, in case (and as was in my case) the malware damages some of your data.

And definitely end the “av.exe” in your processes while removing.

Good luck. And may the creators of these programs some day burn in Hell.

So I install Spyware doctors as instructed. Do I need to subscribe (purchase) to completely remove the virus? Thanks

Run malwarebytes. It works quite well. Vista2010 will block access to the internet so you will need a second computer. Download malwarebytes to a memory stick. Plug memory stick into infected computer and run executable.

I cannot get past the first part. when I type in command in Run, I get a message saying “Windows caanot find command”

download spybot s&d from safer-networking.org
search for updates on spybot
run all windows updates.
go into safe mode (press F8 as you are booting your computer)
run full scan with spybot
immunize.
should get it sorted:)

Hey if i switch to windows 7(im on vista now) will this vista antispyware go away?

I have downloaded Spyware doctor and it scanned and found the threats on my computer, then asked me to buy the full product online so I can remove Vista Spyware. How am I meant to do this when I can’t actually get on the internet because of the virus?? Can someone recommend another way? Or I already have Trend Micro Security on my computer but it doesn’t seem to be able to find the virus when I scan the computer, can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Doug.

Im so frustrated, i cannot get pass the registration thing with Spyware Doctor….How and where do i get the name and License from?? pleaseeee helpp!!!

Desperate here!!

Thanks.

I bought and Downloaded Spyware Doctor , but when i click on the sdsetup it starts then just stops and closes?!?!? How can i make it install the program. I’ve tried to run as admin and everything nothing seems to work right now help plz!

isoHunt seems to be at least one source of this XP/Vista Antispyware trojan. It’s probably coming through one of their ads.

hey my os is vista i get a message that says “Windows caanot find command”. What should i do?

I know the exact site that I downloaded the Trojan from. it was the second site of the day I was on. The dumbass site even showed the bot that was being downloaded to my hard drive, which eventually ran an .exe that is called a virus.

You saved me and my computer I was about to purchase the full version until i loked it up, found you guys and got rid of it thank you so much.

*looked

@gil
Yes definitely, isoHunt suckers are the culprits here. I do not remember which program I was looking for, but I downloaded this Vista Antispyware virus surely there. Almost instantly it started to download and warned me that my pc is infected.
BEWARE OF ISOHUNT – do NOT trust that site — avoid at any cost!!!

@admin
What are the other options? I need free help.

When i run the “exefix” file from my desktop, i press yes on the registry editor box, then i get an error message saying “Cannot import C:\users\user\desktop\exefix.reg: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor”

can someone help me please?

Matt

Help! Downloaded spyware doctor and it’s been scanning for over an hour now, nearly there, how do I delete the infections once it’s done? I can’t get on the internet to buy the paid version and I don’t know how else. (on another computer) please please please help ASAP

I did the whole registry thing then downloaded Spyware doctor but when I try to get it to run it says “application not found”

how do you delete all the items listed on Spyware Doctor?
@admin

If you accidentally deleted all your files and are not able to log onto get into any of the items on my desktop, how do I repair the problem?
