Unvirex

Posted June 2, 2009 

Unvirex is another odd named fake antivirus wanting to scam you out of your money.

Unvirex tricks it’s way onto your computer by pretending to be a video codec. Once on, this “video codec” “scans” your computer and then bombards you with fake alerts for threats that aren’t even on your computer to try and trick you into buying the “full” version of Unvirex .

Fortunately there are instructions to help you manually remove Unvirex . Before you follow these instructions:

Click Start > Run: Type MSCONFIG, Click OK

Uncheck “Load Startup Items“, click OK and restart your computer when prompted. This should stop the Unvirex popups. Also see if there is a folder in your “Program Files” called “Unvirex “. If it is there, delete it.
