How to Remove Alpha Antivirus [Removal Guide]

you really saved my ass from this virus and i thank you from all my heart

My friend's computer had this on it. I suspect it jumped on while downloading a software trial download. It didn't waste any time aggravated anyone who accessed the internet. This Antivirus was truly the opposite of what it was saying it was. My friend and I followed your easy step by step removal guide and we are so thankful for the great advice.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you! I did what you said and the virus is gone! Awesome job to you all!

Thank you sooooooooooo much! This Alpha thing was driving me crazy! I have a brand new laptop and I have no idea how it could have gotten on here. The removal guide was flawless! I created an account just to say thanks! Peace.

HELP ME
what do i do to get rid of this thing
please help

If you read the guide carefully, you'll see that it never tells you to click Abort Scan. Abort means give up, stop; so don't click it!

So I found it on another website and downloaded it; however it wont let me open it. I suspect the virus is blocking it...still have the alpha antivirus on my computer..what should I do to remove it?

Try booting into Safe Mode. Press F8 repeatedly as the computer is booting, and when it brings up a list of choices, select Safe Mode with networking.

Thankyou so much for this guide, it worked perfectly first time and I am now rid of the cursed Alpha!! You are a star!! :o)

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Worked to a "T" on the Windows XP.

Thanks so much for the advise about Alpha Anti-Virus. I tried to go to Best Buy to get their opinion about removing this virus and they really wouldn't even give me a hint on how to do it, even though I printed out the instructions from here and was showing them to the associate. Anyways, I was able to do it on my own. Thanks!

Hi , this is my first post . I have the " Alpha Antivirus " and went into the Task Manger / Processes and could not find " AlphaAV.exe "
I bought the " Malwarebytes Anti-Malware " , is this the right software ? Sorry I'm not very good with computers yet and could use some help .

Thanks

This is the third time I'm press scan (the first time I press full scan) and I follow all the instructions but the Alpha anitivirus sitll there. The second time it pop out no malishious items were detected without pressing abort. So, what else I can do?

Wow! Thank you so much for your help with this virus! My computer is clean! Thank you! I too signed up just to say thank you! And I plan on using this website again for help in the future(if needed).

Hi Rick!

I too didn't see "AlphaAv.exe". I just saw "Alpha.eve". I followed the steps from there and it worked. Im not sure if this helps or what it is your looking for but I hope it does. Im not the greatest with computers either...

Good Luck!
