How to remove Ad-ware Pro?
What is Ad-ware Pro?
Ad-ware Pro (also known as Ad-ware Pro 5.2) is a fake spyware removal tool or, as most call it, a rogue anti-spyware program. Not unlike most other rogue security scams, Ad-ware Pro enters the system by way of Trojans, such as Zlob, disguised as video codecs, and uses scare tactics to convince (or rather intimidate) users into buying the "licensed version" of the program.
Once inside and active on the system Ad-ware Pro floods the user with popups and fake system notifications supposedly informing him of an infection, which is likely non-existent. The user is directed by these popups and whatnot to the homepage of Ad-ware Pro, where he is asked to buy the program. Too often users tend to believe the legitimacy of Ad-ware Pro and thus loose money to a bogus program.
Ad-ware Pro is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block Ad-ware Pro’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

Then, Ad-ware Pro offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Ad-ware Pro does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
