Unfortunately, sometimes the files might be named differently. Run antispyware to delete the infection for you.

hi everybody….here i am with a really simple solution to remove green ave and to get rid of its popups, just follow the simple steps below…

1)Reboot ur computer and login n safe mode(reboot and repeatedly press F8)
2)open c drive, click on Tools->folder options->view..check show hidden files and folders.
3)now follow this link C:/Program Files/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data\GAV\gav.exe

delete the GAV folder

NOTE:if u dont see GAV folder then look for all the folder there starting with “G” or “g”..if the folder contain any of these files(or similar to them) gave.exe, mgrdll.exe then delete the whole folder or one by one these files..

Reboot ur computer…ur computer should b free of pop ups and green av files

Also block the green av website(greenantivirus2009.com) in ur browser settings to block the future threats.

Check the manual removal guide. There are lists of malicious files and other things installed by Green Antivirus. If you can’t find any of the malicious entries, this will mean that your computer is fine.

Don’t blame Norton. Antivirus tools are not meant to deal with infections like Green Antivirus 2009. You need antispyware to located and remove the infection. You can also use the manual removal guide; it’s above the comments section.

Green Antivirus 2009 and Green AV are two different infections. Use Green AV removal guide to delete the malware.

The pop-up might be displayed by adware, not the Green Antivirus 2009 itself, that’s why removing Green Anti-virus hadn’t helped. Try different anti-spyware, not anti-virus. Antivirus is not designed to delete infections like this.

Use the manual removal guide if your anti-spyware is not helpful.

I too removed green av i thought and it doesnt over run my whole computer like it did but i am still getting the warning popup that redirects me to green av on my web browser, any suggestions on how to get this out of my computer fully short of reinstalling windows would be great, already ran malewarebytes, spy bot search and destroy, ccleaner, and avg and i even ran malewarebytes, spy bot, and avg again in safe mode but i still get the popups in the browser…

No, I have not been able to remove the pop-up. I’m wondering if we need to buy a different antivirus?

Thanks,

Hi. My computer was being super slow. And this website popped up and it was Green AV. And i clicked install because i thought it was a “gree anti-virus” site, but it just won’t go away! And it slows my computer down. And i have dial up, so the download for the spyware doctore isn’t helping too much. Ugh! Well, if you have any suggestions email me thanks!

Yes, Paul, these files usually mutate, hackers change those names that it would be difficult to remove. I’ve added gav.exe to the processes and files.

Paul — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 05:52:57 +0000

Will these programs possibly appear under different file names than the ones you have listed? For example, on the processes tab in my task manager, I have a process “gav.exe.” I would like to assume that this is the process that I need to remove, but am not super-savvy when it comes to tinkering with my computer, and am taking the warning about deleting the wrong processes to heart.

Green AV had been bugging me for an hour… when I destroyed ALL the viruses with CA Anti-Virus (Woo-hoo!), CA Anti-Virus listed one more virus… Green AV.

Too bad my free trial of CA Anti-Virus ends today.

Anyways… Darn greedy people of Green AV.
Woohoo! Free from Green AV…

Green AV has been driving me crazy for the last several days and the ATT reps haven’t been able to help me, except to suggest that I get on google and find ways to remove the software, which I did. I found help on yahoo. com search engine. I’ve downloaded a couple of programs that hopefully work. Only time will tell.
