I recently got Antivirus XP 2008 on my computer. I deleted most of the files, but there are obviously some still left. When I start my computer, i still have the white screen as the background. I fixed it, as I followed on youtube, but when I restarted it, i changed back to white screen and the buttons were missing again, so i had to change it again. I downloaded spyhunter 3, and it found all these files, which i remember reading, some of them were related to the virus. one of them was like letter l then some long string of letters. I was going to delete all the items that spyhunter found, but turns out you have to pay… Is there any way to delete the remaining files, and make sure that my screen doesnt turn to white every time i restart. or is there a legit spyhunter like program which can hunt out all of those files and delete them for free? (i have spybot, and that didnt work at all, it found 2 completely unrelated files)
Help pleaaase!
thanks in advance!

This should do the trick;
Download malware anti-bytes for an anti-spyware from:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
And then use avast as an anti-virus:
http://www.avast.com
And then download comodo firewall to prevent other viruses from coming from:
http://www.comodo.com
And then you can download another anti-spyware called SUPERantispyware from:
http://www.superantispyware.com
The computer may be slow after that, if it is download Ccleaner:
http://www.ccleaner.com
It will solve registry problems to make your computer go faster and it can delete cookies and such
You see, Antivirus XP 2008 and clones of it are all over the net. I recommend to NEVER download an antivirus or antispyware unless someone you know who is good with computers gives you the ok
That or, you should stop looking at porn on your computer

Antivirus XP 2008 (or AntivirusXP2008, AntiVirXP08, AntivirusXP 2008) is a rogue antispyware program. This program is a clone of Xp Antivirus, XPAntivirus2008, Antivirus2008, Antivirus 2008. Or you can say that Antivirus XP 2008 is just XPAntivirus2008 by another name. Just like Xp Antivirus, Antivirus XP 2008 uses fake pop up messages, fake security warnings to trick user into buying “full” version of Antivirus XP 2008. Usually users can infect them self with Antivirus XP 2008 through a Trojan, like Zlob. Antivirus XP 2008 usually launches when user starts up Windows. Antivirus XP 2008 can generate tons of ads or pop ups that are very difficult to close. Users should remove Antivirus XP 2008 as soon as possible to safe their privacy and data!
