How to remove W32.Pavsee.C worm

Malware Description:
W32.Pavsee.C is a computer worm which is being actively discussed on security boards lately. According to the preliminary information from a number of PC security labs, W32.Pavsee.C virus could be related to the distribution campaign of Personal Antivirus (aka PAV) fake anti-spyware program. Another analogous infection exploited within the framework of PAV propagation tactics is the infamous Trojan.Win32.Agent.Azsy (please, follow the link to read more about Trojan.Win32.Agent.Azsy). The presence of W32.Pavsee.C on one’s PC is most typically manifested through annoying security alerts that appear from the system tray and notify the user that W32.Pavsee.C is a virus detected on the PC and that it contaminates .com and .exe files on “mapped drives from C to F” (please, see snapshot below). The basic idea of these pop-ups is to make you push the “Block” button which will probably take you to a GUI or malicious website that encourages purchasing Personal Antivirus to eliminate the “detected” infection. Considering the above, it’s dubious whether W32.Pavsee.C is a standalone virus, or if it is used as a part of the scareware campaign conducted by the rogue anti-spyware which is triggering the above-mentioned alerts, in the first place. In other words, there exists a high probability that the security notifications mentioning W32.Pavsee.C worm are nothing but a part of Personal Antivirus malicious tactics aiming to attain commercial profit by scaring people into installing its licensed software. Therefore, it may be needed to remove Personal Antivirus rogue trialware to prevent W32.Pavsee.C pop-ups from appearing. In any case, an accurate PC scan with a trusted tool would be most preferable to see what malicious is actually going on inside your system. Please, follow the guide below to find out more.
