How to remove Antivir rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Antivir is a hazardous rogue anti-spyware infection that propagates throughout the web space via phony online virus scanners and exaggerated popup ads. Antivir appears to have a GUI that is a close resemblance of some previously known scareware applications of high severity so we assume Antivir might be a representative of the same virus family as the nasty Alpha Antivirus. Antivir does not ask for user approval while infiltrating his/her computer – that’s a major hazard emanating from any rogueware application since their intrusion turns out completely unexpected and the potential victim might be unprotected against such an invasion. Having gotten on board its new host computer, Antivir modifies the Registry information so that the compromised Operating System gets configured to run Antivir executable Antivir.exe each time the PC starts. When launched this way, Antivir will issue a great number of misleading ads and scanners that all tell you how badly infected your machine is and advise you do install the ‘right’ software to handle this. In other words, Antivir forges the detection of computer parasites on your computer so that you eventually get brainwashed into installing its licensed version. Antivir can hardly do anything expect deceiving people so please treat this program with extreme caution. Antivir can go as far as to ruin your system and hence make you lose your personal data. Please review the security guidelines below to protect your computer against Antivir impostor hazard.
