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.

Infiltration Alert Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar. Threat: Win32/Nuqel.E |
I can't remove Antivirus Soft. I hate this program. It is eating up everything I try to do to remove it. It continually pops up and never allows me to do anything to remove it. Do you have a contact website for this software? A whos who number? Anything? Those damn bastards. When i get a hold of them.
When I got this "Antivirus Soft" it didn't have the sysguard.exe in my process file but there was a hybysfv.exe file that was using a huge amount of memory. I googled it on the internet and it didn't exist, so I ended it and all it's trees and I didn't have the pop-ups blocking everything anymore. I also disconnected my Lan settings as suggested and now all of a sudden my computer realizes it has a virus. Thank goodness. I hope this helps some other poor layman like me.
May a thousand bedbugs and 5 million mosquitoes find the creators of this program extremely attractive for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for the very clear and so far successful solution to this. It was my wife computer that got infected and it has kept her from using it all day. Now it is clean and she is able to get her work done.
I have removed Antivirus soft basic from my computer. Now I want my money back. It's the principle. Do you have any contact info or Web site that might put e on their trail.
Thank You
A colleague has Antivirus Soft on his computer (running Windows xp). However, it will not allow ANYTHING to open so he can't follow any of the above steps to remove. Does anyone know where he should go from here?
I have a computer I am working on that has the AntiVir Virus and non of the items on here have helped me get rid of the virus do you have any other suggestions.
Okay NONE of this is helping me! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is blocked on my computer. Even using run doesnt work. It took me forever for it to let me transfer my files on a flash drive. I've had all this destroy malware stuff for ages cause I've gotten anti virus before. but it was pro not soft. Any ways nothing works!! I need help!! I can't do ANYTHING! My task manager is not longer working but even when it did I couldn't find the file you listed! Ahhh!
In addition to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AvScan in the registry, also check for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AvSoft
It was there for me and not AvScan.
The software has looked task manager as well the control panel so this is usless in this affect.
Wow! That was hard to find but I managed to remove manually! Thank you!
I was able to do a system restore and it seemed to solve the problem. I looked in my registry for all the entries you listed and found none. I also searched for every other file you listed and found none as well. I guess I just wanted assurance that what I did solved my problem. Thanks
what do i do if it wont let me open the task manager, i have mozzilla as a web browswer it is still working but i cant get into anything else on my computer and im scared to close out my web browswer for my computer may become useless
I have the antivirus soft adware on my computer.. And I cannot install any of the spyware programs advised. The only website my computer will go to is the one trying to peddle the software. I cannot do a regedit. Norton doesn\'t seem to recognize it.
I even downloaded the softwares to a flashdrive from another computer, and cannot install from there either. It seems like someone could put a stop to\"Antivirus Soft\", since they have a website trying to extort money,,and all.
Last evening Antivirus soft got placed on my laptop and now am not able to access the internet or open any programs. Will I be able to use spyware remove software such as yours to override the antivirus soft lock on my system and get it removed. It is on the task bar, keeps popping up and no matter what I tried could not get around it. I am not able to down load your software directly on my laptop because anti virus soft will not let me log on to the internet. Can your software be loaded on a CD Rom and somehow override the antivirus soft to clean my machine or any other suggestions?
I am using a different computer, I can not do anything on my own computer, this antivirus soft is blocking me from doing anytging. I can not sign on to my computer, pleASE HELP!!! THANKS
I downloaded dogpile toolbar, it was in that . Wowd is the only other thing i downloaded, but dogpile exe had a "pup" attached
I want delete Antivirus Soft
I had this virus and it stops you from executing any programs even task manager so what you have to do is be quick and shut down the pc restart it as soon as it loads go to start, all programs, accesories, system tools and restore system to a previous day before trying to delete it!
I have this exact same thing happening to my laptop. I can't even access the internet/any internet sites because Antivirus Soft is trying to "protect me". I tried even google.com or Yahoo and can't even access those. Please help!!
I AM TRYING TO GET RID OF ANTI VIRUS SOFT
WHAT CAN I DO
How can I sue this company. They have destroyed my Quickbooks program on which all of my company's financial transactions are kept.
There is another process for AV soft, that doesn't have sysguard or sftav in the process name. On my computer I had the AV Soft issue, and I noticed on my taskmanager that there was a process called qwcknvetssd.exe taking up a lot of data. Once i managed to kill the process, no more Av soft fake warnings!! So be on the look out for processes taking up a lot of information
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO REMOVE THIS ANTI-SOFT MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM AND CHECK BY PRESSING "PAUSE" COMMAND KEY IN YOUR KEYBOARD THEN CHECK IF YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO RESTORE OR RUN BACK-UP!(IT HAS AN OPTION WHETHER YOU CAN BACK UP YOUR FILES WHEN YOU DO RE-INSTALL ON SOME PC, LAPTOP IF PURCHASED FROM RETAILER) WITHOUT THIS YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DO SYSTEM RESTORE WHEN YOUR RUNNING WINDOWS ITSELF... AFTER YOU DONE RUNNING RE-INSTALL MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL INTERNET SECURITY FOR YOU TO GET PROTECTED WHEN YOU DO SURFING ONLINE CAUSE IF YOU ONLY HAVE ANTIVIRUS YOUR STILL VULNERABLE TO ANY INTERNET INTRUSION PEACE....
Got this Antivirus Soft on my laptop and within minutes I was about to lose it! I Prayed and asked for HELP! Soon, Peace filled me with things to try: 1. Turn off computer (Hard boot if necessary... Power "Off" button) 2. Turn on Computer and hit F8 until I can select "Safe Mode". 3. When system boots up in safe mode, go to PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - SYSTEM TOOLS - SYSTEM RESTORE. 4. Restore to day before. After you are restored, you will not have the problem any more.
I am Thankful for Jesus who leads and guides me. He is an ever present help in time of trouble.
