Default antiviruis xp 2008

Can anyone tell me about this file. Is it a virus file or intruder type
file.
How does one get rid of it?
It wants me to give it money and is very pushy etc. etc..
Seems all wrong.

How can I get rid of it. Do I have to format my harddrive now??

Use my free Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your
system. Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring
them is not an option.

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"
because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

Here are removal steps:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malw...antivirus-2009
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic154529.html (earlier versions)

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or
how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.

PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

Install Malwarebytes and Spybot Search & Destroy.
Update them, then scan your computer with them one at a time.
If unable to remove probs, rescan in Safe Mode.
All info below.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
For the Free version above scroll down their page to either download from
Download, or Major Geeks

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with Spybot S & D and MWB while in Safe Mode.
