How do I get my MS Anti-Spyware program to stop popping up?

May 12th, 2010

StraightEDGE asked:


My MS Anti-Spyware 2009 program [that I haven't even provoked] keeps popping up all the time. I click ‘exit’ but it just keeps re-opening.

I click ‘activate subscription’ and it just re-directs me to buy the full package, which I don’t want.

I just want the program to go away, but don’t know how?

    Umm Anti-Virus 2009 is fake, and is actually a virus use these instructions:
    or run a real antivirus like NOD32 or AVG or Malwarebytes

    but to answer your question go to taskmanager and to the process list look for something that looks like antispyware 2009 and end that process (AntispywarXP2009.exe xp_antispyware.exe brastk.exe), then use something like ccleaner to remove it from startup
