Hi there. I was watching video online and suddenly AVbytes Win 7 Antivirus 2015 just popped up on my computer which currently blocked my Internet. It said my computer has been seriously infected and it will not allow access to anything. I guess it is a fake antivirus because it keeps pushing me to pay its full version. However, I cannot find a way to uninstall it because the program isn’t listed in control panel. It won’t let me open task manager or access any Windows services. How do I get rid of it from my computer?
AVbytes Win 7 Antivirus 2015 is another variant of AVbytes Win 7 Protection 2015 that comes from the same Rogue.FakeRean-Braviax family. This virus is categorized as a rogue program that used to attack computers running with Windows 7 operating system and it also has other versions like AVbytes XP Antivirus 2015, AVbytes Vista Antivirus 2015 and AVbytes Win 8 Antivirus 2015, aiming to hack different operating systems. Just like other fake antivirus programs, it will be configured to start every time you try to start up your computer. Although it sounds and looks like a legitimate utility, you should NEVER keep it in your computer because this program is a virus and it has no virus database and no scan engine, therefore it can’t really detect any infection on your computer. All it does is to display fake scan results, false security warnings, hijack your web browser, and does not allow you to run your legitimate Windows applications.

Hi there. I have Malwarebytes and AVG on my Windows 7 computer and they have been working good. But earlier today Malwarebytes started blocking a threat called PUP.Optional.AZlyrics.A. I tried to quarantine it, but the virus can recur on the next scan. I also ran AVG full scan which took about 4 hours but still nothing found. When I browse online, I always get frequent pop-ups which are annoying. I am not sure if the popups are related to the PUP thing. My question is is there any way that can get rid of this threat permanently?
PUP.Optional.AZlyrics.A is categorized as adware that usually installs on your computer bundled with other potentially unwanted programs. This threat is not malicious, although you may not knowing you’re downloading one, it can perform tons of malicious activities on your computer so you need to remove it immediately. When it hijacks your browser, it downloads potentially unwanted programs in the background that will display more and more ads on your computer. Not only these pop-up ads are very annoying but they can also take control of your entire web browser and as a result you have to use task manager to close the browser. Every time you browse online, it runs slow. It would take forever to load up a page and probably you will be filled with various pop-up alerts within your web browser that you have no way to close them.
