HI, I installed antivirus A360 onto computer( it had windows explorer sign on it) and now cant get rid of it.Ive tried to uninstall it but it tells me I dont have permission to do this, I cant recylce it either!!
Is it safe?
Help!!
I have AVG, but when I try to use this is sayes there is another one in operation..
 
Have you tried superantispyware?

Corny, slightly suspect name but seems to work well - free download from Car's '100 free downloads' link in the key posts.
 
A friend of mine had this on their laptop got it from the bebo website, however I tried almost every tool out there and ntohing would get rid of it in the end I had to wipe the hard drive and re-install Operating System and all applications. It had even got into the registry and it was everywhere, I even tried to manually remove it from the registry but it did not remove it.
 
Thedaras,
Try this, use the system restore function to restore your system to date previous to your infection ie to some restore point yesterday (assuming you got infected today) and see if that works.

If not, boot into safe mode and download a copy of Malware antimalware (http://www.malwarebytes.org) and run it. It should remove the Antivirus a360 malware.

hope this helps
 
thanks for the help,its popping up on the screen now!!
Am going to try the malware first .if that doesnt work ill restore to an earlier date.
This is a nightmare to get rid of,but heres hoping
thanks again

run some different malware detection programmes such as spybot ect just to make sure there is not a dormant file some where waiting to run. also run a registery cleaner such as ccleaner

If you have this problem with a malware application then use an anonimizer site to access the help sites its blocking. The anonimizer site (eg http://anonymouse.org/) take you to the website without passing the request through your browser, so the malware application can't block it. I had this problem a few months ago and this was how I got past the block to access bleepingcomputer.com which had the fix I needed.
