However, the sole purpose of this trojan is to monitor your Windows based computer for connections to more than 4500 different financial related sites and log any usernames and passwords used to connect. When it finds your login information, that’s then sent along to a server that the trojan or virus writer controls and then they can transfer money out of your account or accounts.

Green AV Remove | Remove Green Antivirus 2009
I’m seeing a lot of searches for how to remove the rogue antivirus green AV. It looks like it’s the latest flavor of the minute in the rogue security application crowd. My usual path for removing a rogue antivirus or antispyware application is the same as any other malware, try to get other malware removal software on the system (such as malware bytes antimalware or super antispyware, AVG, spybot etc.) and get them running scans to eliminate it. (Make sure to get updates for the software first.) (Virus Removal Toolkit for links.) If that approach doesn’t get you anywhere then it’s time to find the name of the program file that’s running. It appears that with Green AV to remove it from the running processes you need to kill of the process called gav.exe. You may need to reboot into safe mode, then you can rename (or just delete) the offending program executable…. here’s a suggestion for you.

The latest and greatest in Malware Removals
I have started referring to malware more and more lately because the term virus doesn’t exactly describe the pests I see on peoples machines and the terms spyware or adware aren’t doing justice to some of these pests either. (There are many pieces of what I would consider malware that do undesired things that protest vehemently (and technically correct) that they are not spyware.) So, the last week I’ve had my hands full with a machine on the bench that had a bug in it that was like a multi-headed hydra. It’s kind of like Night of the Living dead or one of those Friday the 13th movies… every time you think you’ve got the baddies licked they keep coming back. Hang on this could be a long post….
