If you are taking the time to look at this article, then chances are you have some doubts about Wireshark Antivirus.
Your doubts are actually well founded, because it actually is a virus, and not an anti-virus application as claimed.
If you haven't already been conned into installing it, consider yourself lucky, that you won't have to go through the ordeal of having to remove Wireshark Antivirus.
Yes it seems like legitimate software, but it is most certainly nothing of the sort, and you won't be able to just uninstall Wireshark Antivirus, it embeds itself ways too deep in your system for that.
The virus works by first latching itself on to your memory.
From there it can write itself all over your operating system, that isn't its objective though, just its insurance.
This is what makes Wireshark Antivirus removal so hard.
What it really does though, is it steals your data such as logins, stored passwords, even credit card information, and sends it out to it rather unsavory developers.
The ideal situation then is to never become infected with the virus.
You won't need to delete Wireshark Antivirus if you don't have Wireshark Antivirus.
The problem is that you can actually get it practically anywhere; there are activities you should be careful of though:

• Try not to use Adobe software while you're online, of course if you have Adobe browser plug-ins; that could prove tough.
  So you should at least have real time virus protection when running Adobe software while you're online.
  
• Avoid obscure websites, there are sites out there actually put online for the purpose of luring you in and hijacking your browser.
  
• Don't use P2P software, programs like Limewire and uTorrent leave your PC open to all kinds of infections.
  You don't know what viruses the people who are sharing files with you have.
  

You can tell you're about to be infected when you are suddenly bombarded with pop-up messages warning you of immediate danger from a virus that has supposedly infected your PC, you will then be told to download a certain application to deal with the threat.
The real truth is the application is the virus, and should you install it, your real problems will begin.
If it's too late, and you already have the virus, then you might want to try manual removal to get rid of Wireshark Antivirus.
It isn't easy though, it involves deleting all the files associated with the virus.
There will be files with.
EXE,.
BAT,.
DAT, and.
LNK extensions.
The filenames might clue you in as to whether or not they are related to the virus.
You'll also need to enter the system registry and delete any virus related entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Manual removal though, is both a risky and an "iffy" proposition.
Even advanced users prefer to use a removal tool to remove Wireshark Antivirus.
Removal tools are far more accurate and thorough than people.
They know exactly what to look for and don't need any guesswork.
They can scan your whole system in a couple of hours and eliminate any traces of the virus.
What's more, good removal tools provide real time virus protection as well.
This greatly reduces the chance of infection in the future.
