Rogue antivirus programs are extremely annoying. Yes, they keep me both busy and paid all week at my day job as a computer technician, but I'd love it if my customers could stay out of trouble for a little while.
If they can't, at least I've found a new tool that makes cleaning up after this kind of infection a bit easier. Remove Fake Antivirus is a free app that carries on in the fine tradition of programs like SmitFraudFix.

It's a no-nonsense app which requires very little interaction. Click the start button and then answer yes to the prompt you see above, and that's about it. Just sit back and watch RFA work. It can uproot many of the rogues I confront on a daily basis, including:
Personal Antivirus
Antivirus 2009 and 2010
Antivirus 360
MS Antispyware 2009
Malware Doctor
Antivirus BEST
Personal Antivirus
Antivirus 2009 and 2010
Antivirus 360
MS Antispyware 2009
Malware Doctor
Antivirus BEST
...and several others. You can download Remove Fake Antivirus from Softpedia. It's on the developers site as well, but the AdSense blocks may be a bit misleading to some users - since they're pushing other antivirus apps.
