How can you remove the fake antivirus malware that are so stubborn sticking on your computer and it won't just go away. You can download a utility below to fix the issue you are having.
If your computer is still clean and free of viruses then it is best that you create a recovery cd through the Windows Operating System or through an antivirus software. However if it is already infected with the malware then you could try to use a tool to remove them.
Recently a friend has brought his notebook to a LAN network and he temporarily disable the genuine antivirus software for an hour. He then browses a few games site and might have accidentally install some malware.
After a few minutes later his computer's response is very slow and eventually he gives up and proceed to restart the notebook. Once the computer has been rebooted a fake antivirus appear on the screen with all the fake messages about the computer has been infected with viruses. When looking at the fake antivirus malware, it shows some fake scans, and display lots of error messages saying the computer is severely infected. He tries to close down the software but after a couple of seconds it popups again. This behaviour is extremely annoying and can drive anyone mad.
When he tries to visit the various internet site, the fake software intercepted and redirected the request to their own website requesting us to put in the credit card detail to purchase the software.
