How to: Remove Braviax.exe manually.

I don’t trust all the free scanners I find when I Google “Remove Braviax.exe” or “Braviax.exe”. Most of them are another adware or spywae. Otherwise it will only scan your computer for free and ask money to remove them. Therefore I always trust couple of good antivirus and spyware programs like Norton (Not free but you can use the trial for 90 days) AVG (100% free and cool).

Then always there is a manual removal for each spy ware, virus or antivirus. You need go back and remove the registry and couple of files and folders from your computer.

Braviax.exe is another Trojan horse that can affect any version of windows (Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000).

If your computer is infected with Bravia.exe it will pop up windows warning style message saying

“Your computer is infected!
Windows has detected spyware infection!It is recomended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.Click here to protect your computer from spyware!”


Removal Instructions

Update your antivirus program and do a full scan. If you don’t have any you can download AVG Antivirus and spy ware removal for free.

Then clean every threat found by your antivirus and get ready for a manual removal.

Go to windows file search and do a search for “Braviax” and do a full search and delete all the files you find. Braviax.exe in windows\system32 folder and figaro.sys are few of common file I found

Then go to registry edit (start> run> type “regedit” > enter) and do search (ctrl + f or go to “Edit” and the select Find) then search for “braviax” delete all the registry key found under that name. (Take a backup in any case if something goes wrong but remembers it is infected)

This is one of the common records in registry you can navigate to this location and remove it. However I have found couple of extra records in the registry when I have couple of users in my computer and if those accounts are infected. I think search for braviax and delete record is more effective.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"braviax" = "%System%\braviax.exe"

Restart your computer and everything should be fine.
