How to get rid of antivirus xp 2008?

How do I get rid of unregistered antivirus xp 2008?

  • My computer has it, but it's not registered so I can't manually remove it. We also have spy sweeper & that doesn't seem to pick it up. So I downloaded a Rogue, but that didn't pick it up either. Then I downloaded Spy Doctor. It picked it up, but I had to pay to get rid of the Antivirus Xp 2008. Is there ANYWAY at all to get rid of it?! This is getting stressful!!

  • Answer:

    This is how I got rid of Antivirus XP 2008. It is different than the XP Antivirus 2008 most sites refer to. First you need to stop the program from loading on startup. This is what you do to stop it: Start, run Type msconfig Go to Startup tab Uncheck lphc35dj0e1an Uncheck rhc75dj0e1an Click apply, then ok Restart computer Then you need to delete the main files this program uses. Delete the following file: C:\windows\system32\lphc35dj0e1an.exe Delete the following folder and all contents: C:\program files\rhc75dj0e1an This should remove the program from your system but you probably still have a warning message displayed as your wallpaper in Windows and the virus removed the ability to change the wallpaper or your desktop settings. To restore ability to change your desktop settings and select a different wallpaper and screen saver do the following: Start, run type Gpedit.msc Navigate to User configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display Right click on Remove Display in Control Panel Click on Properties and select Disabled Do the same steps to change the following attributes to disabled: Hide Desktop Tab Prevent changing wallpaper Hide Apperance and Themes tab Hide Settings tab Hide Screen Saver tab You should now be able to use your computer normally and change the wallpaper to something other than the warning message Antivirus XP 2008 set it to.

Remove AntiVirus XP has the best answer yet. Be aware that the name of the exe files and the folder they are in is not always the same as he mentions. Just look for some nonsensical name that was not there before. As for resetting the desktop settings, if you did not have anything other than default settings before you can go to c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy\User and delete the file in there. That will reset the settings if not immediately then the next time you restart.

1. every software has Force remover tools, download it and remove the unregistered software 2. Remove the Antivirus from Add/Remove control Panel and delete the registry files from windows registry ( type in run regedit and then delete the antivirus files which are stored in windows registry)

I just got that Virus! And got rid of it~ You should download SUPERAntiSpyware Free edition and upgrade it, and get AVG too. I ran both of them at once and it took.... maybe 3 hours, just cause the amount of files I have. But trust me, this will get rid of the viruses~ And spyware!

uninstall it in the control panel then add/remove program....
