Can anybody help me please? I think my computer is pretty much getting mest up now. I can't launch none of my security programs like my anti-virus, my firewall, and my anti-spyware due to the fact that I installed something from a website that's a really big malware. That is, the malware I downloaded is called "Braviax" and "Reanimator" and I looked on google on how to remove it and it's so comlicated getting rid of it because I might risk messing my pc up. So can anybody please help me how to remove these Rogue-Antispyware programs? It manually installed to my computer from a malicious website.

Try restoring your computer to an earlier time, before you installed it.

Just for the hell of it, have you tried Add/Remove programs, to see if what was installed is listed there?

Alot of times system restore has the crap in with it too so a restore might not help at all. Download Adware and run a full scan http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5&cdlpid=10045910 .

Another thing you can try, is to view your task manager to see if there's anything running that doesn't look like it belongs there.

You need to restart in safe mode. If your windows xp...

Start>Run>Msconfig>In the general tab you pop in, select Diagnostic Mode. Run your adaware, spybot, and spy doctor. Should help. Then run your anti-virus program.

When your doing this, i suggest if you have a always active connection you disconnect it from the router or back of the pc, and do this without any possibility of it bringing through the connection anything else.

Google before you restart and download if you can, Security Task Manager. Run it, and look to see how many things it has infected. You should be able to find them by the red bar being high, or things named strange.

No, this is all not true. I know you guys are encouraging me to system restore or try restarting windows in safe mode, but my computer is infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware trojan called "Bravius", http://www.bigdadgib.net/2008/02/23/braviax-exe/ look there please!!

Ok then your screwed :P ......just kidding, Now do you have a Windows Install Disc? if you do the fastest way of getting rid of it is booting from the disc before loading into windows and do a full format of your hardrive which will wipe everything on the Hd. then install windows and start from scratch instead of messing hours on end finding ways to get rid of it.

i just ke3ep adaware and spybot search and destroy on my computer, windows firewall does a decent job from keeping you from downloading bad things. just need to be smart of what you download.

Hey, but u got any other suggestions? There's this good anti-spyware program called "SpyHunter" and I'm lucky enough that this "Braxius" or "WinReanimator" Hasn't prevented it from working. You see.. these 2 Rogue Anti-spyware Trojans has infected my computer little by little so far today. I can't even access "www.fileplanet.com" and like I said, I can't open "Kapsersky Internet Security 7.0" nor "Spyware Doctor" nor "SpyBot Search & Destroy". I can run adaware though, but that didn't help. >.

This program was a lifesaver for me. And it's free. go to download.com / then search for [ Superantispyware ]. Or try clicking on this http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html?tag=lst-2 . This worked when I had a hang-up and hope it works for u-too. If it doesn't, it certainly won't hurt anything. I'm almost gonna guarantee it should show some improvement. Good luck.

Mcafee is a virus IMO- only difference is you pay them to slow down your system. It is best to reformat... It is the only way to be sure it is clean.
