Ok, so my computer has picked up the Antivirus 2009 spyware virus... I have scanned my computer in safe mode using Super Anti Spyware... detected and deleted a bunch of stuff... rebooted and scanned again... Again, detected and deleted a bunch of stuff...
When I booted up and went to Windows and opened IE, I am still getting messages from the Antivirus 2009 that my computer is infected! Is there another tool to remove this virus or what are the removal instructions??

Thank You

Hi,

ok, so it didn't worked with Super Anti Spyware. In that case you might be interested in manual removal. Instructions can be found here: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-ant...
Or just use another anti-spyware like Spyware Doctor. It has high removal rate.

did u try malwarebytes? do it , if it dos,nt remove antivirus 2009 than try manual removal guide http://remove-fake-antivirus2009.fl...
Antivirus 2009 is an unwanted program, from the authors of Antivirus 2008 . (it has many clones like antivirus 2010, antivirus 360, virus responselab 2009, ultimate antivirus etc). These applications have resembling interface and "features". After stealth installation, Antivirus 2009 will show tonns of fake spyware\adware detection messages and offers to remove reported threats (after you purchase commercial version). But in real Antivirus 2009 is not a spyware cleaner, it's just an imitation of spyware remover. Antivirus 2009 can also slow your computer and cause system errors and crashes

Anti virus 2009 is a fake anti virus programme.
Try to download Spybot Search and Destroy which is best anti spyware programme and conduct a scan . It will fix the problem completely

Running the OS in Ram is another method to avoid infection of virus/spyware. If your computer is infected, just reboot it, all viruses/spywares will be destroyed because it is only a virtual image.
