Antivirus system pro is a nasty scareware program...I found this video on it very useful, as well as the links provided to help me get rid of it.

I wish you the best of luck and let me know how you make out.

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://malware-virus-spyware-remover-tools.blogspo... ** 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.

SIMPLE SOLUTION: Start your computer on SAFE MODE. To do this, first shut it down. Then, immediately after pushing the ON button, press the F8 key repeatedly. Go to SAFE MODE without networking. If it asks you which operating system you want to run, choose Windows XP. Once you get into the desktop, do a system restore. Restore to a date that you are sure Antivirus System Pro was not yet on your computer. Note: starting on SAFE MODE for Vista might be different but the general procedure is the same.

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!

Instead, I suggest you check out the link below – here you will find information on how to rid your system of this dubious security tool.

Antivirus System Pro is a very tricky trojan and its removal is not necessarily a simple task. Give SpyNoMore a try, but I think you need to first restart your computer in Safe Mode with Networking to be able to download SpyNoMore otherwise the trojan will block the download.

To restart your computer in Safe Mode, restart it while holding down the F8 key, you will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode with networking, choose that option.
