Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to
give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of
specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give
you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count,
Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic
breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for
each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in
its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to
remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

| 1 | Antivirus 2009 web scanner detected dangerous spyware on your system! |
| 2 | DANGER! Your private life and private details are threatened by potentially severe privacy violations! Your PC keeps track of all the sites you visit, including the adult sites. As a rule, you don't even realize that there may be files on your PC that may infringe your privacy or compromise you. A hi-tech criminal can easily get your credit card credentials! Without protection, you take risk of becoming a fraud victim every second you spend online. |
Hi. This is exactly what I wanted to know. To the point, easy to follow instructions. What about Spyware Doctor? Is it equally effective as Spy Hunter?
OMG!! This worked great! It removed Antivirus 2009 from my computer in a snap of a finger! Now i dont have to worry about my computer messing up on me anymore! This ROCKS!
lmao omg i just got antivirus 2009 last night, i was on the internet and it just started downloading by itself and i thought ok free antivirus ... but then it kept popping up and it really annoyed me so i decided to delete it, except i couldnt... so i went on the internet searched for antivirus 2009 and i was like omg 😐 i was going to get the full version i alredy had my card in my hand but thank god i didnt.. then it took me a while to figure out how to delete it.. today i went to best buy got an antivirus and now everything's fine.. except a file named orbsecure keep appearing in my pictures folder.. i still haven't figured out how to get rid of it and what it is
We don't need to fear other Countries. We have enough Crazies right here, to self destruct... Who has time to waste energy creating computer infections? INSANE! CRIMINAL! So much intelligence.......... just flushed down. SHAMEFUL, CRIMINAL, INSANE behavior.
Hi, i tried deleting the Antivirus from my computer already but there are still traces of it left. i searched ym computer and there is no other files related to Antivirus 2009, but when i open Internet Explorer, the same "blocked" page comes out and asks me to download Antivirus 2009. Please help. this is a company's computer.
Hello I just wanted to let everyone know, yesterday I got this antivirus 2009 and I tryed to remove files l and i could'nt find them to remove them. So I tryed to restore the computer to a previous date and it worked as of today, no antivirus 2009. I will let you know if any problems but so far nothing.
how i can remove the spyware because i has using a windows vista
I CANT REMOVE ANTIVIRUS2009. IS IT A VIRUS?? IT KEEPS ON SHOWING UP.. IM USING WINDOWS VISTA.. CAN SOMONE HELP ME REMOVE IT?
I booted in dos mode from a cd I made and deleted the files there. You can also boot in safe mode and delete files (I think). I also cleaned out the files the virus left by using regedit
Awesome site! Thanks for giving the instructions for the manual removal. They worked like a charm. On extra thing I had to do was disable an add-on in internet explorer labeled 'research'. Thanks for the help!
re:- antivirus 2009 problem . we ran the system restore program back to the date before we had throblems. To date all gone not a problem
go to startup menu and find the antivirus 2009 and click uninstall antivirus 2009 and then u can delete the files
I ONLY PURCHASED THE FAKE ROGUE A FEW DAYS AGO AND NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM THIS SITE THAT ITS FAKE, THEY HAVE ALREADY TOOK TRANSACTIONS OUT FROM MY DEBIT CARD. BASTARDS
I HAVE JUST BOUGHT IT.....IS THER ANY WAY TO GET MY MONEY BACK???
Purchased a few days ago. Found this page while doing websearch for contact info. Ran Spyhunter\'s free antivirus2009 Scanner and purchased removal tool for$29.99. Seems to have done the job alright. Contacted my credit card co. egarding charges to my credit card. They are sending me a billing error form for disputing charges which I must complete, sign, and return with all relevant info. Not sure how much good it will do but it\'s worth a try. Kind of a costly education on internet security but a lesson I doubt I will ever forget.
i hate this rogue antivirus spyware its make me in trouble , thanks for the help
To gain access to you Task Manager, Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe Navigate to the following branch: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\ System In the right-pane, delete the value named DisableTaskMgr Close Regedit.exe
thank you so much
I have also purchased the antivirus 2009,does that mean they can buy anything etc.now with my credit card info or am I only going to pay for the antivirus 2009?
So I just got this antivirus 2009 crap on my computer. I didnt buy it though. Things keep popping up and it wont let me open internet a lot of the time. I can't figure out how to remove all of it from my computer. Any help? Thanksss
I got suckered. I downloaded \"free\" avg updates several weeks ago. There was a free-trial period on the web antivirus software. It lapsed saying that If I wanted the feature, I could pay for it., I have spyzooka, so I did not think it was going to be a problem.
Well I( paid for it. My spyzooka did not wncounter any viruses. I removed the antivirus 09 from the computer, but it was still on my toolbar right next to avg icon. Pop-ups kept coming up saying I had a serious computer problem. Trojans, Adware, and other pop-ups kept telling me to fix problem directing me to a purchase page. I purchased it. The popups stopped, and it mysteriously disappearred from my toolbar. I sent antivirus 09 2 emails. There is no contact number. I am contacting my bank to refuse payment.
I stayed home on a friday night pulling my hair out cause of these assholes. I am pissed, but spyzooka came through once again. Avg free 8.0 is also scanning this computer.
This was awesome. Antivirus 2009 really tricked my wife into installing one, despite Mcafee on our PC. Got rid of obnoxious Antivirus 2009 in one shot. Thanks for the post.
Is there any way we can all band together to prosecute the distributors of Antivirus 2009 and convict them of fraud and internet crimes and put them in prison? I think this should be a felony and the perpetrators should serve real time for this type of crime.
Awesome cheers - got the dam thing off my comp. I found it hidden in another location that you havent mentioned above - In Registory Editor is is Also under: Hkey_current_user > software > 78339220204449642987920239812537 FYI it refers to a website woodst-sale.com ... cheers again
I have read this from Username: Don Date Posted: 2008-08-05 00:32:00 I am afraid about my credit card..Please help me make sure if my credit card is already safe now. I already purchased spyhunter and already removed the antivirus2009. Purchased a few days ago. Found this page while doing websearch for contact info. Ran Spyhunter's antivirus2009 Scanner and purchased removal tool for$29.99. Seems to have done the job alright. Contacted my credit card co. egarding charges to my credit card.

Kind of a costly education on internet security but a lesson I doubt I will ever forget.
Antivirus 2009 keeps popping up. I have not purchased it. Now, I cannot access my internet explorer. Please advise... Thank you
Antivirus 2009 are committing criminal and civil offences. If prosecuted they could not win. They have huge amounts of money from their ill gotten gains and need a court to clean them out and jail them for a very long time. Personally I would like to break their arms for their repugnant acts.
Hello i am ten years old and i accidentaly downloaded antivirus 2009 but now i have a soloution! after searching for months and months i find a soloution! if you have windows vista like me follow these directions if u don't atleast try. Just so you know there is no downloading so you don't have to waste money and it is not complicated at all! Step 1. to delete a file right click your mouse and go down to see a file that says "remove from this list" or "delete". Press it with mouse. Step 2. Go to recycling bin and see if the file you deleted is there. delete it. If you see anything that you want to delete follow my directions from Step 1. I just did this and it worked with me so if any furthomore questions please e-mail me. Or comment me. Thank you so much!!!
I can appreciate how frustrating it is to get this awful software, but it is almost as bad trying to fight-off whatever it is that is trying to give it to me! I have been surfing around for hours trying to find details for how to get rid of that, to no avail. I have not downloaded AV2009, I have none of the files in the file list on my PC (thank goodness!), but I still keep getting an ad hoc rogue ie session starting that then morphs into the dialogue box that tries to tempt me into doing so. I have killed it each time using Task manager, and it takes-out any other ie sessions I am running as well, which suggests that it has plugged itself into ie somehow. I have deleted every cookie it has given to me, I have blocked every site it has referenced (eg antivir-64.com, filescheck-list303.com, etc, etc) and still it comes back. What is bothering me is that it may pop-up when I am typing, and if I don't notice it, I will download by accident (ie keystroke combination). So just to re-iterate, I haven't got it, but I want to stop the pop-ups that are trying to sell it. Any ideas anyone??
This morning my computer get an antivirus 2009. I think I make a huge mistake and I bought it. After I bought, it appeared that my computer was free of virus. Now I am concern, I google antivirus 2009, and I found that it seems to be a big problem. Could you please help me? What shoul I do? they will be able to track my bank account? Do you know how can I stop it? Did I lose my money?
With a alast name of Gates I should not have this problem help me Bill this is driving me crazy! antivirus 2009 b&%% %*it!!
For everyone's information, both Antivirus2009 and 2008 can replicate. The longer it remains undeleted the more it infects. Search function can be comprimised.
The ad popped up on my Mac, hijacking a web page. I didn't download it, though I wonder if it's managed to get through to my computer. Is there any way of checking? I don't have IE; I was using Safari. Please advise. Thanks.
I had to reformat my computer because of this. I backed up all my pictures first. So, I guess I'm going to have to check them for infections.
The Antivirus 2009 icon is on my screen & in my bottom tray. As soon as I get on it just keeps popping up & won't let me go to MSN homepage. How do I get rid of all this junk. I have not installed it. Thanks.
antivirus tricked me into buying dum programme. i started emailing them and they were emailing me back but as soon as i asked for my money back i havent heard from them. has any body had any luck with trying to get money back. Is there any chance of getting money back.
to RUN ur Internet again just delete those unnecessary files(the one that blocks ur IEs caused by spywares) into your system32 folder. You can see the file names of those files when you open msconfig in the run button.it is in the start up category. you can effectively delete it when ur in safe mode.
After a long period of 8-10 days where every hr is important for me, i was facing the problem caused by this malicious program. Now, I would like to thank the team/ person who've posted his/her comments as guidance for needy people. Its really efective. Thank You Again. Regards.
Hope this helps -- AV2009 got through my firewall and antivirus protection -- maddening and nasty. Finally, I found how to remove it. The solution in MY computer was unlike the solutions posted above -- the authors apparently vary the infection. So posting cure details gives them info of how NOT to infect. As a general process, my antivirus and firewall gives filenames of incoming "threats" and strangely allows them to become resident. (Must fix) Finding the location of seven different infectious files in C:\WINDOWS took a lot of work. They ALL were deleted at one time, (I believe they can rewrite themselves) the recycle bin was immediately emptied and the space with the deleted files on the harddrive was scrubbed with common drive-erase software. So far so good.
You must reset you computer to before you got the virus. THIS WORKS!! the other virus removers will just charge money after they scan your comp!! GO TO MY COMP CLICK CONTROL PANEL CLICK PERFORMACE AND MAINTENANCE CLICK SYSTEM RESTORE ON THE LEFT and choose the date you want to restore your comp to! THIS WILL RID YOUR COMP!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
system restore really works. thank god. it\'s already removed. just go to a date where you still don\'t have antivirus 2009.
I just purchased Antivirus2009 today less than an hour ago and i recall reading that i have a 30 day moneyback guarantee. where do i go online to get my money back. Please Help!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I really am disturbed by Antivirus 2009 but thanks to this i got rid of it for good! You help me a lot! Thanks again!!!
Please find and kill this mother[REMOVED WORD]er who made this virus!! Thanks for the prog though, works like a charm.

I recently purchased Antivirus 2009, I want to get rid of it because it's messing up my computer, how do I get my money back?
I will try to used the said download for anti spyware. hope it will solve my problem
I just purchased Antivirus2009 today less than an hour ago and i recall reading that i have a 30 day moneyback guarantee. where do i go online to get my money back. Please Help!
Thank You, SpyHunter, you have proved yourselves honest. In todays world that is priceless.
Thank you SpyHunter, you have my gratitude and respect.
I, too, thought Antivirus 2009 was legit so I bought it and used my credit card to pay. Unfortunately, this so-called antivirus is a tracking cookie. The $51.45 charge for this program came DIRECTLY FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. My bank is investigating this as a fraudulent charge and if possible, I will prosecute. I bought Norton 360 to make sure that my computer is protected. Since this is a "cookie", I would suggest that you delete any and all cookies on your computer. I blocked my debit card and changed my user ID and pw on everything. Type "chrpay.com/meyrocorp" on your search bar. Hope you get the "pandora" site. If you do, look at it. You will be suprised to see all the spyware advertised.
Good luck to all of you that ,like me, "got taken".
i want to remove all the viruse from my system
hey!! about the restoring the co back to the date where it is not infected, doi have to restore file by file?!?
I have successfully removed this serveral times. Some of the things that I have been reading here ,I haven't found to work. but this will work everytime. I use malwarebytes antimalware, manual update and run then online virus scan with bitdefender online scan to verify that everything is gone. However the virus has changed recently and you cannot open antimalware, antispyware programs, and it disables chkdsk and the time sync feature in windows if this is the case, you will also need drweb curit. You may need to download these files from an uninfected computer to a flash drive and transfer to the infected computer. All of these programs are free.Total removal time:20-40 min.
Thanx a bunch! This website saved me! That damn so called Antivirus 2009 drove me insane. I kept popping up like mad asking me to purchase. I almost did. Thank goodness I didn't.
I pity those who did though. Those insane people who did this AV2009 thing should be shot, cut into tiny pieces & fed to sharks. I don't know how they can sleep at night doing this to other people.
After hours of scratching my head, I managed to remove it (I really hope it's for good). I tried Step 2 (using Task Manager) to end the process & it worked! But when I restart, that damn thing popped up again.
So I did Step 2 again & this time, went to Search immediately after to delete the Antivirus 2009 folder & walla! AV2009 no more.
I hope it works for others too.
I didn\'t even have to purchase this thing, it automatically downloaded itself into my computer, and now it needs my e-mail address. I am not going to do it, but I would like to shoot these fools that did this! It has taken over my system, and I can\'t do anything! I don\'t know what to do. Please help. I have windows xp professional.
i just followed the steps, i'm going to see if it works, wish me luck
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This thing is making my life hell.
WHENEVER I AM IN CHAT THE PROGRAM TRYING TO SELL ME ANTIVIRUS 2009 KEEPS POPPING UP AND KNOCKING ME OOUT OF THE CHATROOM.. HOW DO I STOP THIS ANNOYING OCCURANCE?????
FYI, I tried the on-line technical service provided by MaCAfee for $59.95 and they sent me an antivirus program. The program failed to get rid of Antivirus 2009. The tech on the chat line told me that I could use the $59.95 already paid as a credit toward purchasing platinum service if I wanted further assistance.
thanks a lot yhanks so much thanks 100000000000 times
Hello,
AntiVirus 2009 showed up in my computer last night. My boyfriend just kept trying to kill it, and then got the impression that it was eating files. After hours of trying to delete cookies and scan for it we gave up. This morning I woke up and searched online and found out what I had suspected, that it was some evil adware monster, and read how to get rid of it and i deleted it. Now i have discovered that it deleted hundreds and hundreds of irreplacable precious photos. Nearly all of my pictures are gone and i can't retrieve them. I tried to restore my computer to an earlier time and that didn't work as well. Any ideas would really be appreciated, these are some of my most precious posessions. Also, do you know of anyone who is pursuing this legally? I would be interested in finding out how I can help send these filthy people to jail. I didn't even purchase anything from them and it wiped all of my photos within hours. Please help me!
This Antivirus 2009 showed up while searching for NANDA. Luckily, as my sister had encountered this pest last year (named Anitvirus 2008), I didn't accept the installation as I knew what would happen next...
Thanks so much! I was going on a game website and I thought that it infected my comp when the antivirus2009 came up. So I downloaded it. I figured out when I restarted my comp it was rouge. Thank you for helping me get that program...virus off my computer. My dad might not kill me.! Hey Sabrina you would have to do it to your businesses network. Remember it can infect other comps on the same network.
Been working on a friend's desktop (XP) to remove AV2009. So far no dice - tried every trick in the book. This virus has disabled system restore, it prevents any malware programs from running...this thing is a pain in the rear! I even disconnected the machine from the internet, loaded anti malware on a flash drive, rebooted the machine in safe mode and it STILL prevented me from running the malware killer. Geez...I'm out of options, short of just blowing up the whole thing.
Today I have been getting the crap on my computer about how I need to download the antivirus 2009. This is the second time my computer has been infected with thing in the last six months. The first time I have to take it to a computer shop to get it off there. This time I am going to try the download on this site to get rid of it. Even while I'm typing this it keeps popping saying my computer is in danger and infected with serious virusus and spyware, YA theirs! It won't let me down load any other virus protection programs. I knew better than to by their advertisement. I will let you know how this all turns out.
i has download antivirus2009! the problem is when i wants surfing the net, the antivirus had blocked me to view the page or web that i want.it's troubling me so much! and i hope u can show me how to remove it from my pc?can you..
Halaluja pple u saved my ass!!! It really worked the stupd virus is gone!!!!!!!1 Thanks so much... too bad your method didnt work. I did part of it and followed other peoples instructions. But you helped a lot thank you!!
thankyou very much
god bless
I've had this vile crap Antivirus2009 for a few days now. Like everybody else, no matter how many times I attempt to kill it, it comes back every time after I reboot my computer. It's driving me maddddddddd. I think I'm going to try to restore my computer to a date before my computer got infected. However, I am concerned that although I may have restored to a previous date, but how do I know it still doesn't secretly live inside my computer?
Hi guys! - Well if you have deleted Av2009 and this bar comes up anytime you use internet explorer? The bar comes up at the top and within a matter of seconds (does not matter wich page you are on) you are linked to a Antivirus2009 purchace-site!
How do I get rid of that?
I aquired this over the weekend. It got to the point where I couldn't function in my web browser and when I could function, it blocked any site that serched on regarding instructions on how to remove it. Pretty smart. These people need to be prosecuted!
I ended up downloading AVGFREE on to my zip drive. Once installed, it still did not remove the virus. As a last ditch effort, I used my recovery disk to bring it back to original specs. Lost my dcuments, but rid the lap top of the virus. I was ok with losing my documents but I know a lot of people are not good with that. I'm currently using SPYWARE Doctor. It's not free. Use the above info or spywarehunter. Good luck!
hi there.
I had a customers computer with Antivirus infecting it. Though I managed to uninstall the main component, a small extesion called winsystems.dll prevented access to the internet. it is also sometimes call winsystem.dll. to delete this, simply do a search as described above. it should be located in your system32 folder.
I have Vista and ran the program to delete the virus but I still can't acess my internet can anyone hepl me please!!!!

Help
YOU NEED TO START PUNCHING HORSES IN THE FACE PEOPLE! THATS WHY YOUR GETTING ANTI-VIRUS 2009 INFECTION. IF YOU DONT WANT INFECTION YOU NEED TO BEAT UP A HORSE.
DRIED MUSHROOMS RULE!
I have now removed this from many many PCs, by slaving the drive and using my personal favorite of Norton 360, I advise you all not to just run a anti malware, please run an anti virus as well. Every single machine that I c;eaned also had keyloggers now if this was present before or after I cant tell you, but it is really something you want to look out for.
I have had problems with this program before and manage to remove it manually. However this time around the updated program seems to have blocked me from many apps on my computer. I cannot run any of the automatic removal software, open add/remove programs or run redigt to remove key componets. I am running out of ideas on how to delete the program from my system any helpful comments or tips would be much appriciated. It also had the internet locked but i manage to find the files that caused this on my own.
Anyone with help can contact me at dmalcom@live.com
If I ever find the antivirus 09 creators, I will kill them.
Soo what happens when you are unable to use i.e. firefox or chrome? I am unable to go to any website accept for this stupid anti spyware website. Does this mean I'll have to reformat my PC? Or is there another way without having to go buy costly anti virus programs? I'm a little hesitant to copy files from my PC incase the virus follows.
please some one help me get this off of my pc
This thing won't even allow me to open my web browsger. How do I get rid of it????
My wife and i were absolutely appreciative for helping us to remove the Antivirus 2009 program. Did not know it was a fake until reading this. You work wonders for us and many praise your way for the honest spyhunter that actually did the trick.
