Alright, somehow or another this new antivirus software got installed onto my computer. (I think it was when my computer was updating) But I already have an anti virus software. This new one is called 'Personal Antivirus' and it is getting annoying. Every 2 minutes, a little pop up from my toolbar pops up and says "Critical System Warning!" I want to remove this software completely from my computer. I went into my control panel and clicked on 'Add/remove Hardware' and it's no where in there.

Help?

is it norton? once you get that shit on your computer, you're doomed, there's no easy way to totally remove it, it'll be hogging your memory and slowing your computer down forever until you wipe it. the bast antivirus is to know the internets, know what to avoid, and get a mac.

That's spyware, not a real program

It isn't legit antivirus software. It IS a virus, lol.

If your current antivirus won't get rid of it, Google it and see if there are any unifaceted utilities made to do it. I'll take a look for ya.

According to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-personal-antivirus Malwarebytes will detect and remove it. Malwarebytes (MBAM) is legit software, I can personally attest to that.

The download link for MBAM: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/malwarebytes/mbam-setup.exe
