AntiVirGear Manual Detection

If you’ve discovered that AntiVirGear has infected your PC, you must act quickly and take the proper steps to eliminating the infection. Note: The manual removal of any parasite is difficult. To avoid the unnecessary risk of damaging your computer, we advise you to download SpyHunter’s spyware scanner tool to automatically detect AntiVirGear.

To manually remove AntiVirGear, follow these removal steps:

Step #1: Remove AntiVirGear with Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

Sometimes all it takes to get rid of spyware like AntiVirGear is to remove the program using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

1. In Windows XP Professional, click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2. In Windows 2000 Professional / Windows ME / Windows 98, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
3. In the list of programs, search for the software you want to remove. If you see a program you don’t recognize or don’t recall installing, look it up in Google to learn what it is.
4. Select the questionable program and remove it with the Remove button.

Step #2: Kill AntiVirGear using the Windows Task Manager

To kill a AntiVirGear process that has infected your computer, you will need to use the Windows Task Manager to check by process, highlight the process in question, and then end the task. To do this:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC on the keyboard.
2. Click on Processes Tab to see all active tasks. For easier detection, left click the process under the heading Image Name.
3. Find and kill the following AntiVirGear process:
   AntiVirGear 3.9.exe
   AntiVirGear 3.8.exe
   AntiVirGear 3.7.exe
4. Once you’ve identified the AntiVirGear process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.

Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process

Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.

1. Download PsKill or PsList.
2. Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
3. Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.
4. Open a command window and click Start > Run.
5. Type cmd and click the OK button.
6. In the command window, type C:pskill.exe and the name of the process you wish to kill, then press Enter. For example, if you wanted to kill the process for AntiVirGear, you would type: C:pskill.exe AntiVirGear.exe.
   If the file was successfully removed, PsKill will say “process AntiVirGear.exe killed”.
