Wapisvit not responding
I've been trying to download Ad-Aware, BHOCaptor and
CWShredder, but system freezes up. When I Ctrl+Alt+Del the following is not responding "Wapisvit" I've disabled McAfee Anti-Virus Program. Any ideas? |

Wapisvit not responding
I don't understand why you have disabled your AV application. Doing this
could potentially cause you major problems. Wapisvit.exe is malware and one of the many names used by PurityScan. Purity Scan is a commercial parasite, a total scan not to say also a sham and adware. For more details see http://securityresponse.symantec.com...urityscan.html. You can try using PurityScan's uninstaller (http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html) but I don't know that I'd trust such an disreputable company. Further details and comments can be found at the entry for winservn at http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_w.htm Use MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig in the box and click OK), open the Startup tab and uncheck any entry labelled PurityScan or that in the right hand column refers to the file wapisvit.exe. Reboot and then look for and delete wapisvit.exe. If you haven't already done so I would strongly recommend that you check out your system using your preferred anti virus application with a current updated set of viral signatures and also download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also the free SpyBot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and scan your system for and remove all unwanted parasites, adware and spyware that might be hiding on your PC. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Susan wrote: I've been trying to download Ad-Aware, BHOCaptor and CWShredder, but system freezes up.
