Antivirus Soft description

If you want to keep your computer safe and clean Antivirus Soft is not the tool to use. Although the application might look like a real security program, it is actually a malware which seeks to harm and not to protect your system. Antivirus Soft is distributed online with the help of trojans. The parasite usually infects poorly protected computers that do not employ reputable security software.

As Antivirus Soft enters the system it also installs a bunch of files which it later on reports as infections, although they have no ability to harm the computer. On the other hand, Antivirus Soft itself is a malicious application which might cause computer problems. The parasite serves the purpose of selling itself as a legitimate security tool. In order to achieve its goal Antivirus Soft performs fake system scans and displays counterfeit warning messages, such as:

Windows Security alert
Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software
helps to protect your computer against viruses and other
security threats. Click here for the scan your computer. Your
system might be at risk now.

Windows Security alert
Application cannot be executed. The file rundll32.exe is
infected.
Do you want to activate your antvirus software now?

Do not take these alerts or Antivirus Soft for a real thing. The program is a hoax and should be removed instantly upon detection.

    To open Spyware Doctor you have to kill malicious process that is not letting to run this program or you can try to boot your pc in safe mode with or without networking.

    I’ve tried all of the above and it’s still there, it won’t let me open notepad, meaning I can’t get to the host file, I can’t get into the registry (Although I eventually got in after opening it before it started,) Command Prompt will not open, and of course the Task Manager is dead as well. It’s also giving pop-up ads for viagra and all sorts of stuff, so I think an advertiser is built into it as well. This new version I guess is gone off of this guide I guess…

    This thing is a mess! I’ve tried several ways to start my computer in safe mode, but somehow it’s not allowing me to. I even forced the system to crash and got the screen to come up asking me if I would like to start my computer in safe mode, but it wouldn’t let me use the arrows to select Safe Mode with Networking. This virus blocks Spyware Doctor, by not letting it start and any other Anti-virus thing I’ve tried. I also tried Malware Bytes. Please help!!

    If you are unable to open any programs to start the removal process, then try hitting control-alt-delete right when Windows first boots up (before the virus starts-up) and opening the task manager. Look at your process list and you’ll find one that really stands out as jibberish. Mine was lyklreutssd.exe. I bet there’s a random name generator so that everyone gets something different. Disabling that immediately gave me access to my computer again and then I could go in and have an anti-spyware program do the rest.
