my computer started displaying popups of a program called Antivirus8
and some times av8.exe. although i did not download or installed it
but it claimed to be my protection tool and it asked me to pay for its
license so it would remove viruses from my computer. someone suggested
me to remove this antivirus 8 as its a fake software. i instaled
malware bytes, super antispyware and spy hunter, they did not work for
me. now a friend told me to go to this website

Removal tools (or instructions for manual removal) are no solution to an
infection, particularly not with malware that may download more malware
or may give an attacker remote access. One can never be sure what else
was modified on the system and thus can never be certain that the
malware was removed entirely.
