I just found this. Maybe he explains it better than I did:
There is an uninstall but you have to look for it. If you go the route of start-programs-pav-uninstall it does not work. So most just deleted the exe file that made it fun to remove from some of the computers. You can open my computer and got to C:Program Files\Common Files\Uninstal\PAV\Uninstall.exe; and run the uninstall from there. Takes like 3 seconds. That worked great on my computer here because the wife is afraid of it so she just shut it down and left it for me. Out of the 18 that I worked on I only had 10 total that did not delete the exe file the rest I had to fight with.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I searched my system drive for "Personal Antivirus". One of the folders I found had a program in it called "Uninstall". Click click, and Personal Antivirus is gone.

I finally got rid of it, but wander how it got in my computer in the first place? Anyway, it's not a program. Had to go into the "C" drive and track it down like a germ. That stuff should be illegal. Very annoying. Windows defender didn't pick it up. Yahoo anti spy picked it up but couldn't quarantine it. My anti virus program didn't spot it either so it's not a virus. Whoever invented it is kinda smart, but I just think that's a poor way to do business. Later & God bless.
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
"how it got in my computer in the first place?"
One of the places you can get PAV infection is on Facebook. It pops up as an offer, and no matter what you click "yes" or "no" it installs itself. You'd have to stop it with ctrl+alt+del, or maybe Alt+F4 to not have it install.

Oops! Guaranteed to work...first run your antivirus and antispyware programs...my free copy of Superantispyware picked it up (as 5 separate Trojans}. Restart your computer, click the Start icon (lower left of screen) type in "Restore", cllick restore to an earlier date, go back to a restore point a day or two earlier and let the computer take it from there.
If you don't have Superantispyware or another program that catches it, do the restore first, then download Superantispyware and run the program..

Should have given you the Superantispyware download site.

It's free.and very effective. I also ran Avast {free antivirus} and it didn't pick it up so I guess it's considered malware and not a virus..
