How to remove 'Antivirus Live' from your computer

Antivirus Live is a rogue anti-spyware and ransomware program from the same family as Antivirus System Pro. This infection is installed on your computer through Trojans that install it automatically without your permission. Once installed, Antivirus Live will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once running it will scan your computer and display numerous infections, but will state it will not remove them until you purchase the program. In reality, the scan results it detects are all fake and do not actually exist on your computer.

CCleaner

Over 375 million downloads!!!

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0.704
http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Vi...ain;contentAux

AVG Free provides the bare necessities when it comes to security, but that should be enough for savvy Windows users. You'll get a combined antivirus and antimalware engine, LinkScanner, and e-mail scanning. AVG Free 9 introduces a few new features, with improvements focused on performance, including claims of faster scan and boot times. One new feature is the Identity Theft Recovery Unit. Only for users in the United States, ITRU is a business partnership with Identity Guard which provides "consumer identity theft solutions," accessible only from the AVG toolbar in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I got firefox wit the pop up blocker. That and McAfee scans every now and then. Nothin extravagant but it works just fine for me. Adblock is money for this site.

For a quick scan of a file on your computer Virustotal.com is a solid option.
Files, unfortunately, have to be 128mb or smaller but the site scans the file with 57 different anti-virus/malware programs and it usually only takes a minute or two
