Antivirus software

1. Download and install an antivirus program. Free antivirus programs are available from Malwarebytes, LavaSoft and Spybot, and most use similar installation processes. Double-click the .exe file, agree to the terms of service and click "Install."
2. Double-click the desktop icon of your antivirus software or select it from the Start menu. The first time your antivirus program boots, it will take a few moments for it to fully load.
3. Click the "Scan" button. Allow several minutes for your antivirus program to scan through your PC. When it is complete, you will get a list of "Quarantined" files.
4. Scroll through the Quarantine list to locate a file called "wgavn." Check the box next to it and click "Delete Quarantined Files" to remove it from your PC.
