File purpose and description:

Antvrs.exe is a program file that most likely was installed by you and not preinstalled on your computer when you bought it. The actual disk and folder location of this file is also listed below to help you verify this file is not spyware or virus related. This Antvrs.exe software is a known rogue antivirus program. I would take steps to remove this immediately if it was on my computer. The main program is located at C:\Program Files\Antivirus 2008\Antvrs.exe and you should rename or move this file to your recycle bin to stop this from running. If you cannot remove it, first terminate it in your tasklist then you should be able to simply rename it to something like antvrs.backup and reboot your computer (then it will not find the file to run). You can also simply remove it from your startup list but make sure it is not replacing it after you remove it. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
antvrs.exe

File type:
This is an executable program.

File or folder location:
This will show in your startup program list as C:\Program Files\Antivirus 2008\Antvrs.exe

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, antvrs.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of antvrs.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
