So, what is WinAntiVirus?

WinAntiVirus is a rogue "Virus Removal" application. It's designed to "fix Viruses" that cause PC instability and vulnerability. However, the developers of this program have a LONG history of un-ethical tactics to acquire their customers. Once their spyware is installed on your pc, you're plagued with irritating false 'Windows-Like' popups. These popups are irritating by design.... they hope to frustrate into shelling out $50 to buy WinAntiVirus 2006 to remove it.

A common false popup message generated by WinAntiVirus 2006 virus says "System Integrity Scan Wizard". You may also experience other popups because WinAntiVirus is usually bundled with their other "scumbagware".


Remove WinAntiVirus Instructions:
WinAntiVirus: removal can be extremely difficult to remove manually and could cause your computer to stop responding. This spyware hides itself in your system very well. So well, it can't be removed by most programs. To safely remove all WinAntiVirus virus components causing popups, we recommend using only a well-known spyware removal utility such as XoftSpy.

Answer 4

Amaena popups,and scam internet security advertising such as Winfixer, WinAntivirus, WinAnti"this and that", ErrorSafe, etc are usually caused by the Vundo (Virtumonde) infection.

Most "general purpose" scanners such as Norton, AVG, Spybot etc can not detect it, as you may have found out already.

The standard removal tool for Vundo is called VundoFix and it is availible for free here:
