Sysinternals Antivirus Manual Removal instructions

Sysinternals Antivirus is a rogue anti-spyware application that has been directly related to Your PC Protector. Just like the program it is related to, it tries to trick users into paying for a software license. This rogue application gets installed via Trojans that force their way on to the user system through malicious websites. Once installed, Sysinternals Antivirus loads itself as a startup service and proceeds to perform endless scans of the user=92s system, handing out fake reports which try to convince the user that the computer is dangerously infected with a number of malware applications. Sysinternals Antivirus also displays a large number of fake warning pop-ups from the Windows taskbar in an attempt to scare users. The aim of all this activity is to push the user into purchasing a license for the so-called =91full=92 version of Sysinternals Antivirus by claiming that the currently installed =91trial=92 version is incapable of cleaning out all the detected =91threats=92. However, it should be kept in mind at all times that Sysinternals Antivirus is simply a fake application that cannot scan or clean your computer under any circumstances. see the manual removal instructions within the link below to get rid of Sysinternals antivirus VIRUS

Removal tools (or instructions for manual removal) are no solution to an infection, particularly not with malware that may download more malware or may give an attacker remote access. One can never be sure what else was modified on the system and thus can never be certain that the malware was removed entirely.
