Roguefix is a free, portable detection and removal script to clean computers with fake security warnings from a family of rogue software such as: Antivirus 2008, Antivirus 2009, AntiVirus Lab 2009, AntiSpyCheck, Security toolbar, IEAntiVirus, MSAntivirus, Spyware Preventer, Smart Antivirus 2009, VirusResponse Lab 2009, XP antivirus etc..
I tested Roguefix on my XP virtual machine by installing the two rogueware products "Antivirus Pro" and "Antivirus Protection" (ironically hard to catch when you are actually looking for them) and it removed them both with no problems. This is definitely a nice addition to run alongside Smitfraudfix and Combofix.
For a full list of what this can remove and usage instructions, visit their website here.

good deal. I will add them to the arsenal. Thanks
Nice find. Combofix and Smitfraudfix have made my job so much easier, so I’m eager to give this one a whirl.
Nice batchwork, I will have to wait and see now for testing!! Hope it’s fine.
Going to use this right now!
Thanks!
Very usefull.
I’ll use it no doubts!
You rock!
I just sat down to figure out how to get rid of a nasty and what pops into my inbox?
This with the other tools you have made me aware of should do the trick.
Thanks again
Its a nice time saver. It will quickly be able to remove the programs rather then us wasting our time on removing them ourselves.
love it its saved me a lot of time these past couple of days.
