We hope this will be the last. But actually similar scams have been happening. Av.exe removal has been a challenge to many PC users. This malware infects the Windows registry, causing the performance to dwindle, and steals confidential data for fraudulent use. It collaborates with numerous fake programs which include Smart Security, XP Defender Pro, Antivirus XP and Total Vista Security and uses your internet bandwidth to communicate with them. That is why it should be removed as quickly as possible.
It is good to avoid getting attacked by this virus at the onset. You are going to be safe if you do not visit websites that are not very common and if you do not use any P2P software. Installing freeware and unfamiliar software should likewise be avoided.
As an indication of the infection due to the Av.exe, you will get pop-up warnings informing you of some threat to your system. They will also include some instructions to download software for protection, which now you know is a scam. You should ignore such messages and have a complete check of your system quickly.
To remove Av.exe from your system manually, you will have to be someone very familiar with computers.
-Get rid of files with .EXE, .BAT, .LNK and .DLL which are associated with the virus. Removing the wrong files may cause major crash to your PC.
