This virus is commonly known as "malware" (which stands for "Malicious Software") - basically meaning that it will install an automatically-loading software program onto your system and then cause all sorts of problems. Unlike many other typical viruses, which will just install a small file / hidden program onto your PC, the Alpha Antivirus infection will place a branded application onto your computer, and then use that to stop Windows features, prevent your computer from loading up properly and generally just causing problems. To get rid of the virus, you need to use a reliable method to remove all the parts of the infection that are allowing the software to run.
The way to get rid of Alpha Antivirus is to first stop this program from running. This is best done by loading up your PC into "Safe Mode", which will prevent any part of the application from correctly loading. To do this, you should restart your computer and then press F8 continually before Windows has the chance to load. This will bring up the "Boot Options" menu - from which you should look to select "Safe Mode With Networking". This will allow your PC to boot up without the Alpha Antivirus program loading, giving you the ability to remove it in the most complete way possible.
This virus will install itself into this folder:
* %UserProfile%\Application Data\Alpha Antivirus
After loading up your PC into "Safe Mode With Networking", you need to then remove the files above, or use an anti-malware application to get rid of all the infected parts of the virus. We've found that using a program called "XoftSpy" is the best way to completely remove this virus. You can download this tool from the Internet, install it and then let it scan your PC to remove any of the infected parts of the Alpha Antivirus virus.
