OK...so in laymans terms....what do we do??
For the associated files you just have to go to those areas and see if they're there, if not just go to the next part.

For the registry entries you'll need to open the registry editor:

Start > Run > Regedt32

From there you need to browse through each of the sections as defined and try to find the entry. If it's there delete it, if not move to the next part.

Hope that helps.

this is constantly popping up and it even shuts down my computer how do I get rid of this antivirus 2009 I never agreed to purchasing it but yet it won't let me do anything without promting me and changing my screen to "MONSTER" Please help
By following the guide above it will help you to remove the Antivirus 2009 program (or at least really take a good hit out of it). After that you will need to run the Generic Removal Guide to completely finish it off. It takes a good amount of time but is very effective (running the programs more then once). Then after that you would want to checkout how to reverse virus after effects to fix the screen. Here are those links:

Good luck.
Use Super antivirus I used that and was able to get rid of it. Run it in safe mode by hiting f8 when ur pc first starts up. May differ with different Os or brands. Run super it will find it and lable it as a rouge antivirus xp 2008. Mine found 6 objects. Then you "SHOULD" be good. It took me 1 day to figure it out.
As far as i'm aware I never purchased or downloaded Antivirus 2009 and still have the popup, and many others, i followed the steps above and didn't mind any of the files, now what do i do? Help! 8-D
