Antivirus Pro is a rogue anti-spyware program which comes unexpectedly from malicious websites or with programs from file-sharing networks. AntivirusPro functions just like primarily created Antivirus Pro 2010, Windows Police Pro or WinAntivirus Pro and urges only to push victims into purchasing its so called “registered” version. The truth is that just like the trialware, the “full” version of Antivirus Pro is useless and will never increase security of any PC. Contrary, Antivirus Pro will block Internet access and disable antivirus programs of the compromised machine. Only after being removed from the system, Antivirus Pro will be stopped.

After this is done successfully, Antivirus Pro classically generates a great number of pop-up ads and continuously poses to scan the system.
