Answer:
Antivirus 2008, also known as Antivirus2008, Antivirus 2008 Pro, is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false spyware results to lure you to purchase its full version. Antivirus 2008 is usually promoted via a ZLOB/MediaAccess Codec installer found on adult websites. You can also install it manually on the rogue website antivirus-scanner.com. Antivirus 2008 might use its system scanner to display false positives which work as an incentive to make unsuspecting users buy Antivirus 2008's commercial version.

ESET NOD32 link ^.
ESET NOD32 Business Edition. Firewall and antivirus/spyware. Offers real-time protection against threats (i.e. deletes any malware as soon as it is downloaded, so it does not have a opportunity to infect/harm your computer in any way). If you already have a firewall you can disable ESET's, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it is probably superior, and you can use two firewalls in conjunction (but NOT two anti-viruses).
Extract the .rar archive (with something like WinRAR or 7zip, you can google for them), double click the setup file (NB, a .msi file is just a different type of installer package, don’t worry lawl). When it asks you, enable threatsense early warning system, and click the checkbox saying set update parameters later (this is for updates to your anti-virus defenitions). Also, I like having my firewall on Interactive mode, for greater control. Then you just have to allow/deny the programs you choose interet access - i.e. grant Firefox/IE and any on the web games you might play, deny anything dodgy looking.
It'll install nicely, when it's open click the updates tab and press update Virus Signature Database (or words to that effect). It'll come up with a box asking for your username and password. Now double click the other file that was in the .rar archive, the “ESET Logins Viewer”. Grant it internet access, and it'll come up with a list of usernames and passwords for ESET. Just take the top one and copy and paste them, hit okay and let it update.
The first update might take a while. Each username/password configuration will run out each week or so, so you'll have to update the username and password you use every so often, when it comes up with a box saying “Incorrect username/password”.
After Update, run a full system scan. Anything malicious will be automatically quarantined upon completion of the scan. Items can be removed from quarantine, but it is not recommended.
Any further questions, just ask or email me - clampstand@gmail.com
Oh, and if anything asks, you should allow “egui.exe” access to the web - that is ESET. “ekrn.exe” is also an ESET-related process.
If you’re unsure about allowing anything access to the internet, google for it. If you get little/no results it's best not to, and if you do get results then look at a few to see whether to allow/deny accordingly.
