The list of fake antivirus keeps growing daily. Antivirus 7 is not something new but it was my first time to remove it manually. Just like Security Tool, it can be easily removed even without high-end virus removal tools.
The annoying part however is that, just like any other rogue antivirus programs, there are annoying pop ups in normal mode to interrupt what you're doing. There are times that safemode with networking seems to have the same environment especially with av.exe and ave.exe cases.
You can first end the running processes or tasks related to Antivirus 7. Go to task manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) then go to Processes tab. Look for antivirus7.exe and left-click on it. Click on end process. Click OK to terminate the process.
If you are familiar with Autoruns, download it and run it to see the exact path of Antivirus 7 together with other malicious files.
If not, easy. Right click on the Antivirus 7 shortcut on your desktop and click on Properties. Bingo! That's the exact location.
Delete AV7 folder here - C:\Program Files\AV7\antivirus7.exe
Also delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\UpdateExplorer.dll as detected by Autoruns
To complete the clean up process, delete all Antivirus 7 shortcuts on the desktop, Start Menu, and registry entries. This is as easy as right-clicking on the Antivirus 7 icon and then click on Delete.
