Hey!! I need a bit of advice!! Everytime I turn on my laptop, once it has loaded, a program called M S Antivirus starts loading. I get a message telling me I have 250 viruses so they ask me to register to get protected. However, when I go to register, they want me to pay a fee. All I want to know is who is M S Antivirus and how do I delete them of my computer. I tried left clicking their icon in my task bar but all i got was 'open', No option to delete. I think I already have an antivirus program so I don't need this annoying program loading everytime I switch on my computer. Please could some1 tell me how I delete it because it's really annoying me!! :) Cheers Peeps!!

MS Antivirus is rogue spyware. Ignore all of its "viruses", most of them are fake.
A trip to the Malware forum is in order.

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.
