av2009 is blocking my access to Verizon. I already use Mcaffe and do not want
av 2009. How do I stop it from running? (It is not listed in programs or in
delete programs).

Plaese don't spread FUD.

It is malware in the form of a rogue anti malware but it is NOT a "viral program" !

All viruses are malware, not all malware are viruses and too many think everrything bad is
a virus. This is NOT the case.

After talking with Microsoft, I confirmed I was spyware infected. AV 2009 is
not a MS product. Running the scanner on their LIVE ONECARE SITE (over 2
hours) and then a MS tech spending 40 minutes "restting my computer" appears
to have solved the problem. I previously tried the above approaches but
the"bug" prevented me using some of the sites. Thanks for your quick
turnaroundandsuggestions.

If you had done a quick google search or visited these groups any day of
the week, AV 2008 and AV 2009 have been known malware for a LONG TIME.

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:

Dave Lipman's tools:
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
