Remove Personal Antivirus From Your Computer The Easy Way

By


Personal Antivirus is not a legit program. it is a rogue spyware that will try to convince you that you have hundreds of Trojan Virus and Worms installed on your system. Many believe Personal Antivirus is created by a group of hackers who are well-versed with software programming and they are out to scam everyone they get with the rouge software.
 
1: Its gets automatically downloaded and installed on your pc by users visiting some bad websites or using torrents. The rouge antivirus is installed on your pc in hidden mode . (Ex. Symentic, kaspersky, Nod32, AVG etc. they are never installed on your pc until you purchase or download and install them manually)

2: personal antivirus popups over and over and forces you to buy it. while legit antivirus do not force but they just have option to be used as trial and after purchase and update or otherwise uninstall them.

3: Personal Antivirus doesn’t get uninstalled. You have delete it and it come back again because it is coded to be alive there in your pc until you use proper removal method. while other legit software can be removed from control panel and they do not appear or popup until you reinstall them 

Delete Personal Antivirus

It may be difficult to check where the illegal program is in our registry. I managed to remove their scammers' program by clicking on "Start" at the task bar to look for "Help and Support” and clicked “Undo changes to your computer with System Restore"

If you get the option to copy or backup your personal files before making any changes to your computer it is a good idea to get them onto an external usb drive just in case you may need to reformat the computer.

Follow these instructions to remove Personal Antivirus
1.Open My computer, choose Disk C;
2.Find C:\Program Files\Common Files\Uninstall\PAV\Uninstall.lnk
3.Run the Uninstall file.
4.Reboot your computer.
There are other options to find the uninstall file:-paste the following string to Windows Explorer address bar and execute it (Press Enter key):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Uninstall\PAV\Uninstall.lnk
or
Start->Run->C:\Program Files\Common Files\Uninstall\PAV\Uninstall.lnk
