I checked the task manager, registry, program files and searched for AV7, I can't find the parasite on my computer (Vista 64). However, I periodically get the AV7 Scan box up on my machine (occurs randomly).  I immediately shutdown and restart to get rid of it when it occurs.

Malwarebytes, AVG and other antivirus programs do not find it.
I am guessing it is hiding in some other software on my machine and because I have not clicked on it, it has not been fully installed.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can find and rid my machine of this nuissance?

Thanks,

Rick
