REBOOT Computer Services

I have received several calls about a virus called "Antivirus 2009"!

There are many ways your computer could get infected with Antivirus 2009. It can come bundled with shareware or other downloadable software.

Another method of distributing Antivirus 2009 involves tricking you by displaying deceptive pop-up ads that may appear as regular Windows notifications with links which look like buttons reading Yes and No. No matter which "button" that you click on, a download starts, installing Antivirus 2009 on your system. Antivirus 2009 installs on your computer through a trojan and may infect your system without your knowledge or consent.

Antivirus 2009 is difficult to detect and remove. It is not likely to be removed through a convenient "uninstall" feature. Antivirus 2009, as well as other spyware, can re-install itself even after it appears to have been removed.

You also run the risk of damaging your computer since you're required to find and delete sensitive files in your system such as DLL files and registry keys.

If you require assistance with removing this, or any other spyware from your computer, Please call as soon as you can! We are open Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5pm. Saturday by appointment only. Closed on Sunday.
