use manual removal instructions

I helped out 2 of my neighbors just this month that had Antivirus 2008 and they thought it was a good program except for the popups. They called me because they kept getting popup alerts that said they were infected. I used smitfraudfix at mentioned on http://www.spyware-techie.com/antivirus-2008-or-antivirus2008-removal-guide/ on both computers and antivirus 2008 has not returned nor have the popup alerts.

Antivirus2008 is a fake anti-spyware program. Do not purchase antivirus 2008… it is not a real anti-virus program.
