How do you remove the Bestseller Antivirus malware?

I keep getting popups regarding purchasing the Bestseller Antivirus, and a google search reveals that this is malware. I have tried everything I can think of (spyware removal, etc) to remove this, but short of reformatting, I can not think of anything else. Can anyone help me?|||MESSENGER SPAM !

right-click on messenger, properties, choose disable from the drop down, and stop the service.





Note: If administrative tools is not available you will have to enable it in the taskbar and startmenu (control panel) or


Start %26gt; Settings %26gt; Taskbar and Start menu %26gt; Start menu tab %26gt; customize... %26gt; check box for admin tools.





If you are using anti-spyware tools and it is not removing adware/spyware then I would question the tool you are using since some spyware masquerade as anti-spyware... so you download them thinking they will remove spyware but they are infecting you with it. I use Spybot S%26amp;D from http://www.safer-networking.org which actually works.





Also, make sure you have your pop-up blocker enabled.


IE %26gt;%26gt; Tools %26gt;%26gt; Internet Options %26gt;%26gt; Privacy tab %26gt;%26gt; checkbox





Good Luck
