well i just got the xp anti virus 2011 virus i was wonder how adapted avast is for removing it how do i remove it i did a scan and avast didn’t pick it up what do i do?
Generally I would say it is best to have prevented it in the first place and if missed you have to opt for other methods.
See http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-win-7-internet-security-2011 for removal instructions on this and many of its variants.
why thank you
No problem, glad I could help.

I am surprised that avast dont detect it yet. I got infected too and had to use malwarebytes to remove it
New versions are out every day…yes the Rogue may still look the same

The reason for the growth in numbers is what is known in technical terminology as ‘polymorphism', an old defence technique which involves changing the binary checksum of every copy (or download) of a piece of malware. This makes it much more difficult for antivirus programs to detect the programs.
