I've been infected with this program. It poses as a microsoft product
but isn't. I called the Help Support line and got a message
(206-203-5346) from the Federal Watch stating this is a hoax. My
computer is now locked up and nothing will work. Does anyone know how
to hack this progam out of your computer?

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"
because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!
If you are infected with XP Antivirus or Antivirus 2009/10, here are removal
steps:

Removal instructions for Antivirus 2009:

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.
If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or
how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.
PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

Antivirus 2009 is actually a virus pretending to be an antivirus
program. it will continually popup and tell you that you are infected.
Yes you are infected, but you are infected with Antivirus2009. the
longer you remain connected to the internet with the infected computer
the more stuff Antivirus downloads in the backdoor that it has created
and infects your computer with even more viruses.

NO -- It is NOT a virus !
It is non-viral malware as it does not self replicate nor does it infect your
computer
with more viruses.

Dear Lipman,
i know its not a virus, it is a ROGUE SPYWARE but the simply word VIRUS
is used to let newbies think what kind of this program is because i have
seen many newbies who wonder and ask what do you mean by ROGUE or
MALWARE? etc. anyhow thanks for posting more info about it. but the
links i provided they really help removing antivirus 2009 and its other
clones (It is cloned by its programmer, i agree with you that it dos,nt
automaticalt/itself creates its clones).
Good Luck and keep it up man:)
