I have tried to delete this file but only go the standard answer that the file is write protected. How do i remove this file from the appllication data in my C drive?

Hi,

It should be added to detections soon, samples were received earlier.

Unfortunately Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not able to eradicate Anti-Virus Number 1. On my daughters Vista Home Premium laptop Windows Defender can stop the pop ups but they reappear when she boots up. This just started last Friday. Superantispyware also can't seem to completely kill this thing. Any idea when an working update will be available? What can I do in the meantime?

Hello,


Please update MBAM and run a quick scan on the infected computer

DB 1887 contain's updated definitions for the latest variant.

Good news. It seems that definition update 1887 was the answer because no more pop ups after my daughter rebooted her laptop. Thanks a million.
