delete it from your program files
I am almost afraid to say this worked, but so far so good.
One note – when i did the redit scan, the AV360 files in the directory “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software” started with 646, not 133 as noted above. My suggestion is to look at any file beginning with numbers.
Thanks
Thanks for the Antivirus 360 removal utility. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the removal program, I didnt know what was going on for a second there.
God Bless You!!
This article was very helpful. I had the Antivirus 360 on my computer and it was just frustrating and horrible.
I could not remove it from the control panel programs, it was not listed. I could not even delete the file from the Window Explorer, the program was being used by other applications. And I could not get rid of it off the Tool Manager.
Going through Task Manager and ending the .exe is the way that I end the program and then deleted into the recycle bin and emptied the recycle bin.
So “Thank you” for supply the instructions. And please continuing to get the word out about these different viruses.
Thank you VERY much…. I followed your notes, ran the removal utility AND even performing the MANUAL steps (just to be sure), I found everything you specified, and the Antivirus 360 is GONE for good!
I am impressed with your work, I thank you dearly!
Way to go – keep up the good work beating the cyber junkies!
