    I tried opening the task manager, but it said "Application cannot be executed. The file is infected. Please activate your antivirus software." Please help, what do I do? We dont have enough money to reactivate it, got any suggestions or advice?

  • Sucker says:

    I sure hope this removes the advanced virus remover from my PC. The authors of the avr code should be behind bars.
