Can't get rid of antivirus 2009

[antivirushelp]

Hello, I have a HP Compac/vista only for a few months. Recently i have these annoying popups for antivirus 2009, saying my computer is at risk and to pay for their program. I have AVAST running currently. I went into the tasks and quit running the program each time I boot up, which is fine until I turn the computer on again. I don't know what else to do?

Welcome to TS.

AntiVirus2009 may be a tough one. Your AV program may have hobbled the infection, and this makes things easier.

We begin by going the traditional route. Here is a sticky quote.
If unable to obtain or run the tools, then move to after the sticky.

For anyone seeking help with malware removal, the volunteers expect 3 logs: MBAM, SAS, & HJT. Following this procedure "normalizes" your case in that over 1000 malware threats have been addressed by the tools.

Alternative 1: Cnet evaluation includes Vista; Publisher web site includes Vista

Go here & D/L CureIt. Dr-Web-CureIt
Do not update the tool.
First, Run the Scan - express mode.
Next, Run the Scan – complete mode

Alternative 2: Used if Alt. 1 gives no relief to perform MBAM/SAS scans

After each alternative that is used, uninstall, the re-install MBAM & SAS. Update tools.
MBAM scan
SAS scan
HJT scan

Please report progress and state symptoms that are still present following scans.
