    antivirus 2009 is a malware. it only pretends to be a security tool so you buy it. apparently mcafee is not very good as it allowed you to install antivirus2009 and it didn’t detected it as a parasite. here’s antivirus 2009 removal tutorial: http://www.spywarevoid.com/remove-antivi…

    Which version of McAfee?
    With regards to cleaning your machine up:
    Be sure your system is COMPLETELY clean first…
    In order to successfully remove malware infections (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your PC you need to follow a methodical approach as well as using effective (and free) tools. There’s a decent guide covering this that you can work through at My Slow PC (http://www.MySlowPC.net/) – click on the “Troubleshooting” link. Here’s my advice from it:
    1.) Turn System Restore OFF so any infection that you remove is not restored.
    2.) Scan with a combination of the best detection utilities as you’ll find different scanners can sometimes pick up different infections. E.g.
    * McAfee Stinger – a free standalone Trojan virus scanner
    * SpyBot Search & Destroy – a spyware/adware scanner
    * Lavasoft Adaware – for spyware/adware
    Note – it might be a good idea to disconnect your network connection once you’ve updated them with the latest virus/spyware definitions. This is due to the fact that often an infection is trying to spread over your network.
    3.) If the above fails or you’re not sure if you’re still infected, when you start your PC tap the F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and repeat the scans once you’re connected.
    I hope the above helps, as mentioned the guide above is a lot more detailed and the My Slow PC site is pretty useful. Good luck!

    Sorry dude, but you got conned.
    “Antivirus 2009 is a new rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Antivirus 2008 and Doctor Antivirus . Antivirus 2009 is installed and advertised through the use of misleading web sites that attempt to make you think your computer is infected with a variety of malware. Once installed, Antivirus 2009 will scan your computer and list a variety of fake infections that can’t be removed unless you first purchase the software. These infections are fake, though, and only being shown to scare you into purchasing the software.”
    To remove this crap, follow this simple procedure, “How to remove Antivirus 2009 (Uninstall Instructions)” at:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-…
    Just scroll down to: “Automated Removal Instructions for Antivirus 2009 using Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware”
    Obviously, your McAfee let you down, it let you become infected with this Antivirus 2009 infection.

    McAfee did not remove Antivirus 2009 for me. I had to find another way online. I found the removal process at http://www.pchubs.com/blogs/antivirus-20…
    It was easy and free so i did not have to buy another antivirus or antispyware program. ALso, you may want to try booting into safe mode and then run McAfee. That may work also.
