Advanced Antivirus, also known as AdvancedAntivirus, is a rogue anti-virus program that displays a fake icon on your system tray stating that your computer is infected with spyware.

Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to mention that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing in your feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!
What if the virus will not let you into Task Manager?
I also got this unwanted “antivirus” and it completely destroyed my system.
If the Mo-F*ckers demand money for this, there must be a bank account to trace them? I have had it with all this virus shyte, I will break their legs when I find them
I was another Idiot that paid for it because my virus protection was out of date… I was wondering if there was a way to get money back? a number anything that I can do?
ok well im of the ones who fell for it because i was actually trying to download something and my norton had expired so i thought that it was just something that my computer automatically deployed to help. well im going to uninstall but i want to know if there is a way to get my money back? please reply thanks
You can also use system restore in Windows XP. It seemed to obliterate his stinking disease pretty darn quick!
