Thank you for all your help, you guys saved me alot of headache and money
Hello,
To run the Task Manager before Antivirus IS is able to prevent it from opening try the following:
Restart your computer and if you see the Antivirus IS interface, keep hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del to open your Task Manager.
Once Task Manager opens, hit the ‘Processes’ tab, locate the any Antivirus IS process which may be called ‘avis.exe’ or ‘antivirusis.exe’ and choose ‘End Process’.
After this is completed, continue using your Task Manager to go to ‘File’ menu, select ‘New Task (Run)’ and type in ‘explorer.exe’
Click the ‘OK’ button and wait for your Desktop to get back to normal.
Then, go ahead and open SpyHunter to automatically detect other malicious files related to Antivirus IS.
I have tried all of the above but the virus will not let me access anything other than it’s own web site.
Not the registry editor, not Task Manager, not the internet, not any other program at all.
I have started the computer in Safe mode and tried to restore to the earliest date possible but I think the virus is blocking that too because no matter what date I choose it tell me it’s not able to finish restore, I have tried 6 different dates so far but it’ still not working.
Any suggestions?
None of the above applications are working for removing the
Antivirus IS program from my computer and I cannot get on the net
to download the Scanner?
Any suggestions would be helpful
Easiest way to remove Antivirus IS? I think I found it.
Reboot computer and keep pressing F8. When you are given the option, choose to start Windows in “Safe Mode”.
When Windows has started up, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Tools -> System Restore
Choose a restore date sufficiently old so that it is prior to the Antivirus IS infection. I would say a couple of weeks should be enough.
Restore system and problem should be gone. At least it was for me.
Much easier than having to download all kinds of anti-malware software and messing with registries. If it works for you, you can send thanks to jaycal33 (at) yaboo (dot) com. It’s not really yaboo, but you know what I mean.
A more recommended countermeasure to stop the closing of the taskmanager as a “suspect program” is to log off windows (not restart…just how you are logged into your computer) then log right back it, and IMMEDIATELY hit ctrl+alt+del to get the task manager up before the fake anit-virus has a chance to boot (it has to start in a certain pecking order of stuff installed already) then you can watch it boot and either close it from Applications…or from Processes (harder to find in this section)…the changing of the xxx.exe of the antivirus or malware checker is a good idea however. cheers, and never get scammed by these crafty sonza blanks.
It will not let me open the regedit or try any of the other methods.
my machine is all locked up,sending from wifes machine. I wemt to Window Task Manager, to Processess. The only thing I see that remotely resembles antivirus SI is “isass.exe”. Isthat it? If I right click it, I get “End Process” or “End Process Tree”. What do you think?
Antivirus IS does not allow me to use the internt, Now what can I do ?

Andie
it doesnt let me do anything that you said just keeps saying it is infected
Got it!
Run Task Manager. If virus prevents running Task Manager then reboot and as soon as desktop appears run Task Manager before virus can prevent.
In Task Manger go to “Processes” tab.
There I looked for an out of place Image name and Description. For me it was titled: “yqllowhlanw.exe”
I checked the properties on this item and found an associated folder called:
“dkqmkqbvv”
Then end process and delete folder.
I also found an odd program in my program folder entitled:
“browser error address redirector”
I was not able to delete it manually but was able to over ride and delete with CCleaner.
That’s it, and so far so good.
HUGE THANKS. This method was very easy and has cleared the virus from my computer.
I tried a few different spyware programs and none worked and i came close to giving up. Im very greatful.

I have windows 7…I got this from some dumb download. My own fault. I restarted in Safe Mode (F8 during start up), went to the start box…typed System Restore…chose 2 days ago and bang…all nice and gone.
Tried your methods but the screen disappears too quickly to react to it. Can\’t get into hotmail or anything else. What can I do? Using another computer to send this to you. Thanks,
Earl
Tried to remove Antivirus IS by all the methods listed but with no success.
1) “Antivirus IS” does not show under Windows Task Manager.
2) Regedit will not run in mormal boot mode. It flashes up but gets immediately closed down again followed by a message. In Safe Mode regedit can not find anything labled “Antivirus IS”.
3) Trying to run any software (including SpyHunter’s Malware Scanner) results in the same instant closure and message.
4) A complete drive scan in Safe Mode shows no results for “Antivirus IS”.
5) AVG is blocked from scanning.
6) Windows Operating Disc is also blocked from running.
Help!
To remove Antivirus IS, you must first stop any Antivirus IS processes that are running in your computer’s memory. To stop all Antivirus IS processes, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the Windows Task Manager. Click on the “Processes” tab, search for Antivirus IS, then right-click it and select “End Process” key. IS NOT WORKING AT ALL
