Generic!Artemis and AnitVirus Plus Removal

7 min read

This thread's last reply is from December 19, 2008, 4:46 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Hello,

It seems I have Generic!Artemis on my computer (not this one). I downloaded and ran a scan with AntiVirus Plus (before finding out that it is bad software), and now that is giving me problems as well. How do I delete Generic!Artemis and AntiVirus Plus? My HijackThis log is below.

Thank you,

Hello rrbolin, We need to move HJT !

We need to move HJT !
Please download the latest copy of HijackThis from Trend Micro and save it to your desktop.
It is important that you uninstall any previous versions by using Add/Remove programs in your control panel and remove the old HJT copy from the Desktop before installing a newer version.

1. Double click on HJTInstall.exe to install it. Click on Install. By default, it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
2. Read through the License Agreement presented to you on the next screen and click on I Accept.
3. Once installed, HijackThis will start automatically. If it doesn't, please go to your desktop and double click on the HijackThis shortcut created there.
4. Select Do a system scan and save a logfile.
5. Close HijackThis.

Note: Do not click on the AnalyzeThis button.

Do not fix any lines you see in HijackThis as most entries are harmless and needed for the normal functioning of Windows.


Post a new HJT log for review.
Also the Uninstall list.

Thanks
Chuck
