Yeah, these new fake anti viruses are a nightmare to remove, sometimes nearly impossible.
But, here is the point. If your kid never went out, would your kid get in trouble for breaking curfew, shoplifting, having sex with the football team? No. They get in trouble because they were allowed to go out and do what they wanted.
Computers are the same way. Hence, get a firewall. Can I go out? I might get in trouble... Um, NO. Chapperone your computer and what it does on the internet the same way as you chapperone your kids until they are smart enough to take care of themselves. Its a pain in the ass for a while, but once you teach your computer to talk to websites you have been to before (like your banking website), but tell it that going to
www.quicktrax.ch.freeip.net/bankofamerica is not the real website, it wont go there again.
They have to be taught what to do and what not to do. Be a good parent and teach your computer to not do things you dont want it to do.
IE, get a firewall and forget the anti virus.
