Antivirus XP 2008 License Agreement REMOVAL

Oh my God! it took me one complete day to figure out what the hell is "Antivirus XP 2008 License Agreement" popup and remove  it.  Everytime I boot my computer a popup would pop up asking me to install the Antivirus XP 2008. Further, there would be a big warning message in my desktop stating that my computer has been infected and I need to install some anti spyware software (see the image in the preivous post). 
I did a little bit research in this and found that "Antivirus XP 2008" popup was a fake popup and all those messages about my computer infection were fake and were displayed so as to convince me to buy the Antivirus XP 2008 anti-spyware software. I tried a number of anti-spyware software and finally a sofware named "Malewarebyte's Antimalware", a freeware, helped me remove it. This software did an excellent job in removing all of the infected files and registry keys. Now my computer acts as normal and I am happy. 
Instructions to remove "Antivirus XP 2008 License Agreement"
--> Go to the page
--> Download the Anti-Malware tool
--> Scan your computer with the tool.
-->The tool will find all the malware's and trojans. The scan screen will look something like this:

-->Delete all the infected files and restart the computer. 
--> Now if everything goes well, you should be free from the malware and the pop up screen for "Antivirus XP 2008 License Agreement" should not show up. 
The complete instruction on using the malware byte is in the above link.

Thanks
