Here is what I did to get rid of this nasty maddening rubbish!
- I refused to purchase their crap av protection 2011, what this stupid AV Protection 2011 which is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware that pretends to be legitimate tool important for computer's security.
- Instead I carefully right clicked the icon it downloaded onto my desktop, clicked on properties; this showed me exactly where the rogue file is located. I copied the location less the file (basically ignore the last set of text after the very last forward slash)
- Found the folder tried to delete it guess what? I could not because the stupid file was already in use. No worries, I simply shutdown my computer logged onto safe mode
- In safe mode I logged on to the directory and removed the folder containing the av protection software. Rebooted my computer and proceeded to delete all cookies.
- Knock on wood so far so good, but seriously people watch what you put on your BLOGS! I have had friends who have paid a major sum to fix their laptops. This is why I am moving to apple pronto!
