Antivirus .NET is a variant of AntiVira AV, Antispyware Soft and AV Security Suite which are considered to be among the hardest fake antivirus products to remove in recent history. Antivirus .NET uses the same tactics as its predecessors and is very good at eluding detection.

To put the pressure on you to buy the full version, Antivirus .NET blocks access to almost all websites and starts opening porn websites such as adult.com, porno.com and porno.org, and occasionally viagra.com. Antivirus .NET continually harasses the user with numerous warnings and messages saying that their computer is infected and is under attack from hackers. Antivirus .NET is commonly installed by a trojan or manually mistakenly downloaded from one of many fraudulent Fake Scanner Sites.

Antivirus .NET Special Removal Instructions

Step 1: Download Vkill. If you cannot download directly to the infected computer, you can download it onto a clean computer and transfer it to the infected computer (by using a network or a flash drive).

If you cannot download directly to the infected computer and you do not know how to transfer files between two computers, click here for instructions on how to restart your computer in Safe Mode with Networking. Once you are logged in Safe Mode, you can download SpyNoMore.

Step 2: Double-click Vkill several quick times in a row to disable Antivirus .NET. Make sure to save any unsaved work before you do that.

PLEASE NOTE: The purpose of double-clicking vkill several times is to work around the infection's blocking ability. So make sure to keep double-clicking on vkill until a notepad text file opens up. This text file will list the names of the processes killed. Once you see the text file, you can proceed to step 3 below. If you have clicked vkill several times quickly and you still do not see a notepad text file open up, click here to download a different version of vkill.

Step 3: Once Antivirus .NET has been disabled, you can download and run SpyNoMore. SpyNoMore will download updates then scan your computer and if Antivirus .NET is present, SNM will detect it and you will be able to see either Antivirus .NET or Fake Alert in the scan results. These are the same product. Please note that the free version of SpyNoMore will only show you the detections. In order to remove the infection you need to purchase a 1-year license which costs $29 (or $39 for 3 computers). In all cases, you will be able to see the infection in the free version scan results.

Step 4: Purchase the activation key from a clean computer by clicking on our Purchase link on spynomore.com. Write down the activation key and use it to activate SNM on the infected computer. This will remove Antivirus .NET and restore your internet connection. You will again be able to run your programs and applications without trouble.
