CleanV Removal Guide

CleanV is another type of fake antivirus program which provide fake features to scan the computer and will surely report that the computer has been infected by malwares, trojans and viruses. Do not believe any report given by CleanV as it will show that report to any computer (no matter is free of virus or infected by virus) which have installed CleanV. CleanV will run automatically when Windows boot. Then CleanV will do a fake scan on the computer and then it definitely show pop ups to scare the user that the computer has been infected. CleanV will urge the user to purchase the full version of CleanV to remove all the detected threats. However, CleanV cannot detect and remove any kind of virus, malware and trojan.

CleanV can be removed first by stopping its processes (CVMon.exe, CleanV.exe, CVAutoUpdate.exe) and then kill its files by using Emsisoft HiJackFree. Then the user has to remove all the related files and folder. Finally, restore the registry entries added and modified by CleanV (Read the removal guide below to remove CleanV successfully).

CleanV should be removed immediately!
