How do I get rid of Antivirus XP 2008?

Hi i had the same problem here is the solution

omg this thing is sooo annoying. i got my virus from downloading a video downloader or something. i got it earlier today. its easy to get your background back and get rid of part of the virus. its wicked hard and confusing. it says i deleted it and its not on my computer but comcast and searching on google wont work. im not really sure what to do. 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 can now get a different background but the virus is still there. thats why i did but comcast still doesnt work. those steps helped but i still dont know what to do.

you can do it i have encounter it before and it was cleared you can go to the following website: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-antivirus-xp.html http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-antivirus-xp-2008

Folks, this is easier than expected. I also spent hours trying to get rid of the antivirus xp 2008, with the warning on my desktop. I spend four days and hours - even with the help of a "knowledged" friend. I went and bought spyware software (Defender Pro - $20.00). The scan took over four hours, said it deleted the viruses - and didn't work. I went to Best Buy this morning, and bought Norton AntiVirus 2008 ($43.00 with tax). It has a Incredible Hulk on the box. It took maybe an hour - and it worked. All you have to do is install the CD, register the product - and scan for virus, and then let them be deleted automatically.

yeah easy! what is antivirus xp 2008? What this programs does: XP Antivirus 2008, XP Antivirus 2009, and XPAntiVirus are rogue antivirus programs that, when run, display false results as a tactic to scare you into purchasing the software. Older versions of XP Antivirus would create 9 entries in your Windows Registry that impersonate infections on your machine. In reality, though, these registry entries were harmless and had absolutely no effect on your computer. Instead, these entries were set so that XP AntiVirus can find them when scanning your computer and report them as infections. The newer of versions of the program , such as XP Antivirus 2008 and XP Antivirus 2009, instead just display false results when scanning your computer that state infections were found. In order to remove these fake infections, though, you would first need to purchase the software as the trial does not allow you to remove them.
