For testing purposes, I’ve installed Antivirus Pro 2010 on my computer. Then it reports that there are 33 useless and unwanted files on my computer. 21 are critical privacy compromising content, 9 contains medium privacy threats and 3 are junk. At first I thought they were real virus but when I randomly uploaded 3 files to VirusTotal to have it scanned with 41 different antivirus, surprisingly no threats were detected! To remove Antivirus Pro 2010, I ran RemoveFakeAntivirus.exe, waited for a few seconds and after a reboot, Antivirus Pro 2010 has been removed.
Although Antivirus Pro 2010 gave fake reports, but I am pretty sure that there are some fake antivirus that will drop in real trojan/virus/worm on your computer. Be sure to scan your computer with a reputable antivirus such as Kaspersky, Norton, Avira or BitDefender after removing the rogue antivirus with Remove Fake Antivirus. I personally believe the list of supported rogue AVs will most likely continue to grow if Olzen manage to get more samples of the fake antiviruses. Olzen, the author of Remove Fake Antivirus is 26 years old and he’s from Malaysia too!

Thanks Ray for this important advice.
And also thanks for the guy from Malaysia – Olsen – who developed the software Remove Fake Antivirus.
Thanks but you forgot to put the download link.
15. Personal Antivirus is the worst
I have to deal with it so many times at work
I’ll keep the app handy thanks
thanks for the post. i didn’t see the link in the article, so here it is: http://freeofvirus.blogspot.com/
i ran the software and it said “removed all fake antivirus” but it didn’t tell me if it actually found any of these things. i guess if you know for a fact you are infected this is useful.
This little app could be brilliant but how do you know?
I downloaded and run and after a few seconds my system rebooted!
How do you know if you have any fake avs?
How do you know if it removed any fake avs after the reboot?
I usually trust your advice Raymond but this app leaves several questions which have to be answered before I’d consider clicking run again!
thanks raymond , but where is download link!
rogue antivirus are ralyy very dangerous, i got infected with “Smart Antivirus 2009″ , when i tried to remove it with “BIT DEFENDER”, instead of removing fake antivirus it itself get removed !!!! then i was really in big trouble when i saw that even after FORMATTING my pc 4-TIMES, it wasn’t removed!!!!!
then i made a call to HP-CUSTOMER CARE, then i came to know about”PC TOOLS-SPYWARE DOCTOR”,
AND LASTLY IT WAS ABLE TO DETECT N REMOVE THAT **} SMART ANTIVIRUS 2009.
THIS WAS HAPPY ENDING N INFACT I’M TO CELEBRATE IT’S ANNIVERSARY THIS COMING MONDAY.
Wow..nice to know..Thanks for sharing Ray.
Good one, Ray… but no link to download it.
Very useful ray.
Speaking of Malaysian, you reminded me of Dr. Looi Hoong Thoong of V-Buster.

I have the same problem here.
Automatically, it just reboots my computer. Any solutions?
FYI, I don’t have an antivirus software.
Damn, i run the application and rebooted end it up my computer cant connect to internet using wireless. So i reinstall the wireless device.. this application can cause error to your computer. By the way i am using Vista. whats going on?
Nice one to give it a try.
Thanks Raymond for sharing this, I’ve been wondering to find out exactly which is the best AV out there.
amon
After running ‘Remove Fake Antivirus’, I got this error message when tried to run Microsoft Visual Studio project:
Error : Compiler executable file C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe cannot be found.
‘Remove Fake Antivirus’ deleted my C# compiler..!!
‘Remove Fake Antivirus’ author is already written about Microsoft Visual Studio compiler csc.exe [http://freeofvirus.blogspot.com/2009/10/cscexe.html],
but I think his program failed to identify the genuine csc.exe.
I’ve reinstalled Microsoft Framework.
cool … jus wit file size 83k only!
I have same problem with Des and Rash.
It reboot my system without notify me anything …..
I think I need advice from raymond too ….

Yep! there it was!
Thank You Raymond!
Steve
use malwarebytes guys… it really knows how to destroy fake antivirus
thanks for the info ray!
No offense, this program is pretty useless for vista as it could mess up your driver. Next time i better not simply use application like this only if it stated for vista.
I Just would like to say I have used this progrom (8) Eight times in the last 2 1/2 months on Windows XP. It worked 5 of the times, the three that it did not work I tried other tools and still could not get the abtivirus 2009 and 2010 off but lucky i had backed up their fresh install with all of thier programs with Acronis True Image but if you have a seagate drive internal or external hooked up seagate give a free verion to use. just wipe your drive and reinstall your image backup of your fresh install you made, do your updatess and your back going in less than an hour..
PS: Raymond good that you do share the info a lot of people do not know about these tools, keep up the good work
This program kills IE8 from connecting to the internet. Running xp pro sp3.
Hey Ray,
Thanks for this great post again as it really help my friend´s computer in removing the fake anti-virus.Kudos !!!
i used Superantispyware it removes and i’ll try this Fake antivirus thanks Raymond …
I usually prefer to use Super Anti Spyware. It covers both rogue antiviruses and other kinds of spyware. The free version offers cleanup and the pro version offers realtime protection as well as other features.
Interesting find, nontheless
Great tip, Raymond!
*rogue
I wouldn’t recommend this program.
Starting, the program displayed “stopping virus services” and than it stopped the winlogon service which crashes the system with shutdown.
Restarting my laptop brought flickering screen as the laptop ran on batteries and not on electricity. I has to restart with F8 and “last known good configuration”.
Thank you for promoting this small program for me. By reading the comments, I know what are the errors and bugs from the program. I have fixed the errors. The program version now is 1.34. Thanks again.
it really works………
i tried too….
many many thanx to you……
Wooh this is great software.Thank you Raymond
This “Remove Fake antivirus” is very simple program, it really cannot do much, maybe in the future.
. I had to run other programs multiple time to clean the infection.
I ran it against 2 strong variation of “Security Central” and “virus Police’ and it just did nothing
I do not recommend it at all, waste of time.
Raymond I downloaded and ran this program and up came the BSOD. My system rebooted and then I read about the new version 1.34 .
Once again I downloaded and ran the program and the same results. The dreaded BSOD.
Love your site Raymond.
Not worth it. Got BSOD. Remove it.
I suggest you only use Malwarebytes as it is a fantastic free software that removes much more than the Fake Antivirus software and will not cause any side effects on any operating system,
Hey Users, as i’ve mentioned earlier pls do not download this crapware. After I got the BSOD my LAN driver was messed up. My downloads wouldn’t start. System crashed with BSOD. This is worth it.
Raymond kindly remove this software. Many people have had similar problems. Thanks to the solution mentioned I reinstalled the and now its all fine.
Thank god something like this came out. I work as a tech at a major university in the technology building. The Rtard teachers constantly get these stupid things. It makes me laugh that the teachers in the COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY manage to get these. At least twice a week Ill have to get one of these fake anti viruses off.
