This lens is designed to help you remove nasty virus's that get downloaded onto your computer such as antivirus 2011.
I use the internet a lot and have done for many years, over that time i have downloaded many virus's by mistake and like a lot of people became scared and didn't know how to remove them!! This lens will feature me sharing my knowledge and allowing you to remove antivirus programs a lot easier.

The most common virus's that effect millions of people all over the world are the ones that pop up frequently telling you that you have thousands of threats and the only way to get rid of them is to purchase there software package. (NEVER DO THIS)!!!!!

Below are instructions on how to deal with a virus when it appears on your computer.

If you are looking for manual instructions on how to remove antivirus 2011 go to Step 3 (WARNING improper use of regedit could cause permanent damage to your system)

Step 1

The first thing you should do when a virus is located on your computer is run a full system scan on your computer to see if your internet security software is picking up any virus's.
The internet security software that i would recommend would be:
AVG free edition
AVG Pro
Norton Internet Security
McAfee

Great Stuff on Amazon

Loading

Step 2

If your internet security software does not pick up on the virus or cannot erase the virus then i recommend that you download a free software package called Spybot: Search and Destroy.

Once downloaded run a scan on your system (check for problems) and if it finds anything that shouldn't be there most of the time it will give the option to heal (recovery) effected files which will delete any virus that it has picked up straight away.

Spybot is my choice of software for removing infections from my system, however from doing my research another program that is highly recommended is Spyware Doctor. ( A Link to download this software is below )
