    The Antivirus System Pro is another in a long line of malicious viruses that attacks your computer. This particular virus affects your computers speed and memory. It slows your computer down, redirects, or hijacks Internet Explorer so that when you are browsing the web, instead of going to the page you want, you will be diverted to one of the hacked pages that says "the site you are going to may be harmful to your computer and you need to download Antivirus System Pro." This is a rogue anti-virus, do not download!

    Step 1

    Close all open programs, and windows on your computer. Click the resource link at the end of this article called, "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware." On the right side, under the heading, "Get rid of the Antivirus System Pro Virus", http://bestfree-spyware-virus-trojan-protec.blogsp... This is a free program **

    Step 2

    A file download box will open asking you if you want to "run or save this file?" Click run. This will download the Malewarebytes' Anti-Malware to your computer and place an icon on your desktop.

    Step 3

    Double-click on the icon and select the bullet, "perform quick scan." This scan will expose the viruses that are affecting your computers registry. Once the scan is complete you can remove the harmful viruses.

    Restart your computer and the "Antivirus System Pro" Virus will be gone. If your computer is still running slow then double-click the MWBAM icon again and this time select the bullet to perform a full scan. A full scan can take up to an hour.

    Use combofix from bleepingcomputer.com, then go download malwarebytes from softpedia.com or cnet.com and use it(rename the installer if it doesn't let you install it such as winlogon.exe), then clean the rest of the virus with superantispyware from softpedia.com or superantispyware.com.

    Future Protection use this wizard to recommend security protection for your system:

    http://www.techsupportalert.com/secwiz

    Or Manually:

    Terminating the process:

    1.I verify that a Rogue is present. This isn't hard, since it's usually popping up just about every few seconds.

    2.Click CTRL-ALT-DELETE (if it's available)

    3.Click Task Manager

    4.Click Processes

    5.Find a process that usually contain all numbers. For example 2342342.exe. If you do not see all numbers then your rogue has a name like...SystemSecurityPro.exe or GreenAV.exe...etc.

    6.Select that process and click end process.

    7.At this point the rogue process has been terminated.

    Removing Rogue Anti-virus that is named with random numbers.

    1.Click Start

    2.Click Run (or for Vista type in the start search box)

    3.For windows xp type: C:\documents and settings\all users\Application Data and click OK. A window will open containing a folder with about 8 numbers. Your Rogue is in there. Delete that folder.

    4.For Windows Vista type C:\users\all users in the "start search" box and click enter. Your randomly named folder with about 8 digits should be in there. Delete it.

    Removing Rogue Anti-Virus that has a name like System Guard Pro, AV2010, etc

    1.Open Windows Explorer.

    2.Open your C:\ drive.

    3.Open Program Files

    4.Find the Rogue and Delete the folder.

    If not seek an expert. Good Luck!

  • Fist thing boot into safe mode

    second uninstall Java runtime environment and any flash player plugins.

    next run a legit virus program hopefully you already have one installed and up to date.

    What ever it is should show up if it doesn't download malwarebytes

    rename the install file from MWBs.exe or what ever its called to anything but what it is originally called from there you'll put it on the machine and install it in safe mode and run a full scan

    If that doesn't work you may need to get a live Linux distro and either run a scan with that or use it to pull your files off the machine to removeable media.

    If you get your problem fixed you can reinstall Java and flash

    If not you gotta format your system

    This particular malware should be removed as soon as it has been detected.

    As with many rogue applications, Antivirus System Pro is designed to coerce money from unsuspecting computer users, and should therefore NOT be trusted!

    It sounds legit..thats what trojans, and virus want you to think.

    I bet that it is spyware. It will be doing all sorts on your pc. I would get rid of it, the fact that you get random porn pages is a 100% sign of a virus that is a fake antivirus, thats what they want you to do, go to their websites.

    you may have seen popups that say you have virus's that need cleaning, all this does though is install them on your pc, this is what i think has happpend.

    My advice, unistall that program imedietly, get a trusted one like AVG free or buy one if you want and get that to scan it (or your whole pc)
