I’ve battled with that thing on all my families comps.
The only thing I’ve found that can remove it entirely is Malwarebytes. Everything else passes right over it for some reason. It’s a very well written trojan
First go into the add/remove programs and remove the Anti virus that was really a virus software then if it has a shortcut then delete that. After you have deleted the viruses root empty your in-box, out-box and all email folders. then go into "my documents" and run a virus check. then run a virus check over the whole computer. If it is a Trojan download virus though it is very unlikely that you can delete it but if you keep your files organized and your email folders clean then you can expect it to soon expire itself because it will have nothing to read off.
Hello. Glad to answer your question.
The best and pretty much only way to extinguish a virus or any other kinda threat on your computer is to Fully reformat your hard drive and re install your operating system.
** Remember to back up your files if you do this!
After you do that make sure to IMMEDIATLEY get a good internet security program.
I HIGHLY! Recommend Windows Live OneCare. You can get it free for 90!! Days with NO limitations here:

You should also chose a good antispyware program (even though WL onecare has one!) to run alongside your antivirus. I use and recommend Webroot antispyware. http://www.webroot.com
I hope I have helped you.
