Personal Antivirus is one of the most common versions of a rogue virus that has been infecting millions of PCs throughout the World.
It appears to be a harmless antivirus product on the outside, but inside, Personal Antivirus is one of the most harmful pieces of spamware you can get.
Luckily, there's a simple way to completely uninstall it from your computer forever.
Being a piece of spyware, Personal Antivirus has likely installed itself on your computer without your permission or knowledge..
..
and because of its shady nature, it doesn't any sort of uninstall feature to help you remove it.
This is okay because uninstall facilities only do two things to remove the program from your PC - they first remove the program files it has, and then the registry keys it has.
To remove all traces of this rogue program, you just need to follow what an uninstall facility would do, and do it too.
This means that you first need to remove the program files that make it work.
Program files are incredibly important for any software tool.
They are the files that make the program work, and by deleting them, you will instantly make Personal Antivirus unable to function.
To do this, you just need to open My Computer and then browse to c:/Program Files/Personal Antivirus and then select the entire folder, deleting it by pressing SHIFT + DELETE.
This will permanently remove the program files, ensuring they will never be able to work again.
The next thing you need to do is to remove the registry keys the program has.
These keys make your software linked into Windows, telling your operating system where the program is installed and how to work it.
They are highly important and need to be removed to make Windows "forget" that Personal Antivirus was ever installed.
To do this, you just need to browse to C:/Windows and open "Regedit.
exe".
This will allow you to edit the registry database, and delete the registry keys you need to.
When you open this program, press CTRL+F to search, and then search for Personal Antivirus.
Delete all the keys you find.
