I have followed your instructions: 1.Remove from task manager 2.Download Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware 3.With quick scan it has been found 10 infections>> in Quarantine 4.Return to normal use but the alpha (so called) antivirus banner pops up again. What do you suggest me to do? My computer is a VAIO VGN-FZ18E - Vista Home Premium. Thanking you in advance. Yours Truly pierpaolo.pirona@alice.it P.S. I have also tried to uninstall Alpha from the list of programs but it returns to Alpha AV with this : Bracket-parenthesis FCC74B77-EC3E-4DD8-A80B-008A702075A9 Bracket Parenthesis.
