Angry Smart antivirus 2009

Picked this up today,
system restored,but is still hidding in program files,favorites and still had shortcuts on desktop.
Deleted favourites & shortcuts.
Anyone had this virus,Just got back on line so I thought I'd try here first,
RAR file was scanned with nod32 before openning and found nothing.
Don't really want to reformat but looks like the only option.

From other threads malwarebytes does a pretty good job...

also How to remove Smart Antivirus 2009 (Uninstall Instructions) says malwarebytes is good.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.

At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.

When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.

Don't know if it's the same, but sounds similar to XP anti virus.
There's a thread about it at ocau. I got this on my parents comp, and it was an abslute hoe. There appears to be different strains with different levels of hoe'ness.

XP Antivirus 2008 - Overclockers Australia Forums

Cheers, RHCP.

Reformatting not necessary... use the tools to remove the problem.

There was a recent thread about this. Try continual manual updates...can take up to 30 tries before success.
No recent NOD32 updates

I have a similar problem with a nasty calling itself:
XPSecuritycenter.

Did the suggested manual removal processes.
then did a Trend housecall scan, now both machines running XP get to the welcome screen and just hang, or blue screen.

Nothing of importance on them so i think i will just format and be done with it,
pain in the keester.

Sure is.

I havent seen any virus/malware/trojan/nasty etc appear this much in many years. Fortunately Malwarebytes makes removal easy though I suspect many people will format their system thinking it is too hard to get rid of.
