October 6, 2007 – 9:28 amAntiVirGear Explanation
AntiVirGear is a fake anti-spyware program. Do NOT purchase it under any circumstances. The following procedures will help you remove it from your system easily and safely.
Are you getting popups from AntiVirGear? Have you identified that you have AntiVirGear installed on your computer? Do you wish to remove AntiVirGear completely from your computer?
Why should you remove AntiVirGear?
If AntiVirGear resides on your computer, it can potentially damage your personal files or you may end up losing data stored on your system.

How can you manually remove AntiVirGear
Manual removal of AntiVirGear may not be for everyone. Each manual AntiVirGear removal step must be followed delicately to completely remove all related files and registry entries from your computer.

AntiVirGear can be removed manually by following the steps below.
- With all programs closed, click the Start Menu and go to the Control Panel.
- Locate the Add/Remove Programs icon and double click it.
- Locate AntiVirGear in the list of programs. If you find it, select it and remove it. If you cannot find AntiVirGear, you can continue to step 5.
- Restart your computer.
