Malware removal - Personal Antivirus

MysticNacho

Good Afternoon All,

I spent most of yesterday evening attempting to remove Personal Anti virus Malware from my outdated laptop... :-(

I have followed the advice from the various posts on the site, but have one last bit I am struggling to remove...

I completed the Malware Bytes scan, plus an adaware one, and its removed the majority of the infection...

Mbam log pasted below;

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.37
Database version: 2182
Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winexplorer.dll.tmp (Trojan.FakeAlert) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

However, I still have 'PAV' as an application in my programmes list. The only option with it is to 'Uninstall'.
Any ideas on how i remove this final bit?

I'm reasonably ok 'PC' wise, having been a former web designer in a very past life, but my experiance with the 'back end' stuff of PC's could certainly do with some improvement.

I'm running Windows XP Home addition (yes my laptop is old), i use Firefox as my browser, Avast Anti Virus and Comodo Firewall...
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Many Thanks
MN
