Our computor recently said that i needed a vital program to continuing running. It was XP Antivirus 2008. It keeps popping up when im doing something and makes me look at it. It really effects Gunz bad. So I need to get rid of it but I cant find it. Its not on the processes at the bottom right hand of the Computor, its not under the start bar or under control panel under add/remove programs. Please help me locate this Thank +rep will also go along with the solution. I also have a picture of the popup is that will help.

XP Anti-virus is a virus , Remember, if something needs to bother you to dl it, then it's most likely not good.

Here is a site XP Antivirus 2008 Removal Instructions (XP Antivirus 2008) - MS Windows Vista Compatible Software

Basically it tells you what files to remove and stuff.

yeah and if it's too much work you should try Spybot S&D.

I would recommend getting a free reliable anti-virus program that I can use:

1.) AVG

or

2.) Avira Free Antivirus

Good luck in the future.

My recommendation is to use avast! antivirus - high security and protection from malware with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in

As for an anti-spyware program, try finding a cracked version of Spyware Doctor.

i'd stick to a "dead" trend micro AV

leave it off until you get hit by a vir
then boot in safemode and perform a clean

this way i get to keep my system resources when i use the PC for other stuff
