Green AV

Posted: August 26, 2009

ScreenshotGreen AV is a fake spyware remover that utilizes slightly different tactics to most other rogue spyware removers. Green AV claims that for every product sold, they will donate $2 towards the protection of the environment. Do not be fooled, though. Green AV cannot protect your computer, let alone natural ecosystems. Green AV typically displays fake security alerts in order to fool you into believing your PC is infected, and then prompting you to purchase and download Green AV in order to combat these imaginary threats.

    first got to contol-alt-delete then pick TASKMASTER,when the screen comes up delete
    AVGREEN
    then go to FILE HIPPO
    download AD-AWARE for free! and it will get rid of your problem and continue to get rid of your problem.
    I am happy with AD-AWARE,all the rest of the programs said they were free and then they were not.

    I fell for the above company's anti-virsus rubbish and now cannot get back on my computer to even vanquish this to the outer limits. I cannot even fight them with the credit card company. I was told that I might have to erase everything from my computer and start over. I am luck to be able to turn my computer on successfully but to do what needs to be done is not English to me. Can you help?
