Smart Virus Eliminator Removal Instructions
Smart Virus Eliminator is a typical rogue antivirus application. It uses Trojans or security holes to infect computers and then harasses the user to purchase its full version. Part of its harassment entails running fake scans every time Windows is started up and delivering false security alerts at least once a minute.
Having your computer infected by Smart Virus Eliminator isn’t just annoying, it is dangerous. It is a sign that your computer’s security is weak and it will also cause your computer to slow down dramatically. There may also be a risk of having more malware downloaded by either the Trojan or Smart Virus Eliminator. It is best to have this rogue removed immediately. In order to do this manually, you should stop the following processes:
SM83b.exe
asp2009.exe
Relative file contents:
SM83b.exe
asp2009.exe
smve.cfg
Smart Virus Eliminator.lnk
