The answer to my problem with this wasn't too difficult. I, too, could not find the Alpha Antivirus program in the add/ remove programs section of the control panel. However, I was able to completely remove this program from my computer by doing this: 1. Ctrl, Alt, Delete 2. End Process on Alpha Antivirus 3. Delete the desktop icon 4. Go to windows explorer, C: (drive), Downloaded Program Files, Delete the entire Alpha Antivirus folder. 5. Click start, and remove anything that says Alpha Antivirus by right clicking on it and click delete. 6. Empty recycle bin I did all this and restarted my computer. I could no longer find any signs of the Alpha Antivirus. Hope this helps.

1. Reboot your PC 2. Hit F8 to start safe mode with networking 3. Find these processes: AlphaAV.exe and NetFilter.exe. Stop them 4. Run a full system scan after downloading anti-spyware program if you don't have such. Look for example on Google Pack for Spyware Doctor free version.
