Hijacked by AntiVirus Gold

Hi
I have noticed another thing it keeps installing in the Favorites links
which i have deleted like a 100 times now but wouldnt go away i restart
explorer and it installs even installs if you open a new window.

Dont know when i will get rid of this stupid thing.

I have even removed the registry of winnook.exe.
also removed files frm prefetch folder so there are no backups to the
files.

Without luck.
Hope a good solution to this problem comes fast i am loosing my mind.

Take care

I know I'm harping on this but have either you or Terry Smythe tried
HijackThis? When all other programs fail HijackThis will usually get to the
root of the problem. It is a program for advanced users so do not use it
blindly. Read the FAQ at the following link then follow the instructions you
find there.

I had the same EXACT problem...Sunday i went to a soccer game came home
finding out that my sister used my computer and this software installed
itself...HOWEVER there is a way to remove that backround...It is just an
oversized window, so if you get it look at the top of ur screen and you
see a grey bar or some kind or line and drag down and it just moves the
window down and you simply close the X....My problem is that after i
uninstall the little icon saying my computer is infected still stays in
my toolbar. Now this was the other day Sunday, and i restored my
computer to last Friday. This worked however, today the program
reinstalled itself and i did not use internet explorer. I have
firefox. Along with this program installing itself again some other
junk instaled on my computer and i got 5 new icons on my desktop in
total. I did a system restore and not more then 5 minutes after the
restore the AVG software installed itself again. I contacted the
company...of course no reply. I tried deleting the files under
"regedit" from the Run command and one file for this program was ad
efault and could not be deleted. But i guess im just gonna try to
restore my computer to a few weeks ago and see if that helps.

I finally got rid of the desktop danger thing, the redirects and
everything those dirtbags at Antivirus Gold threw at me. I did it by
using the free scans from SpywareNuker (aka pcOrion) and Xoftspy. I
did the Nuker first and printed out the results from my scan, then
found and deleted the cookies and files where it told me to find them
on my C:/ Then I went into the regedit thing and did the same thing on
my registry. All together Nuker found 22 nasties for me to delete.
After that I still had the black screen up and the red X on my task bar
so I used the Xoftspy scan and it dug up another list. I pretty much
followed the locations it gave me and I got rid of everything else
except the black desktop screen became white and I couldn't get rid of
it. I Dogpiled AVGold and found yall on this string and I want to
thank e[x]!t for his help. He's right, I just clicked and dragged the
top of that window down, found the X in the upper right corner and its
gone!

I just registered on this site to thank you all for the advice I got
reading the posts and wanted to share how I got over on AVGold. I'm
pretty much a complete computer neophyte and I think my total ignorance
allowed me to mess with my registry without a second thought and I just
got lucky picking a couple of scans that happened to work out. But hey
it worked for me, and if anybody knows how to trash AntiVirus Gold I'll
be happy to hold the door open. Thanks for your help.

You are using programs that are probabily bundled with spyware. I only know
about the good stuff. I never heard of AVGold, Nuker, Softspy etc. Don't buy
anything without checking with www.spywareinfo.com for a start. I use free
avast virus software, free ad-aware, free spybot s&d, free microsoft-beta
antispyware (not all at the same time) and I never had a problem. Security is
#1. My advice, download "eraser" from heidi software (free), create a floppy
nuke disk, erase the disk clean, reformat, and install a clean os. Then
install sp2 for a firewall, update at microsoft, get zone alarm
firewall-free, avast, and what I mentioned before. Before you buy an app, a
game, especially free screensavers, learn all you can about adware and
spyware. If you have a good virus program (avast updates automatically)
you'll be ok.

hi, i read all these posts and was having to same problem with that darn
trojan two days ago. I have found a solution and i felt obligated to
post it for all of u. I have ad-aware running on my computer and it
just wasnt cutting. What i ended up doing was downloading the freeware
version of Spybot Search and Destroy and the free 15-day trial of
Webroot Spy Sweeper. I ran them all together and it fixed it. I think
that the Webroot Spy Sweeper was the key because in the free scan that
you can do on their website, it was the only program to recognize the
antivirus gold as a trojan. I dont know if it worked because all three
programs removed part of it but it worked. Webroot asked me to reboot
the system and when i did, there was no warning in the backround and no
(X) in the toolbar.

Hope that helps,
Dazed and Confused

This link tells how to remove Antivirus Gold. I first ran McAfee and
Adaware, which got rid of some of the nefarious program. The following
nailed the rest of it:
