What is Antivirus Agent Pro?

Antivirus Agent Pro is a rogue anti-spyware program, so many of which are out today. This parasite uses the Zlob trojan to enter the system. Zlob is usually disguised as a video codec and can be found in porn/warez websites. Antivirus Agent Pro uses disinformation to trick the user into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.

Once inside and active, Antivirus Agent Pro will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information can be true by coincidence, Antivirus Agent Pro has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats and should therefore be disregarded. Much like any other rogue, Antivirus Agent Pro will perform fake system scans, which produce greatly exaggerated results.

The home of this parasite is avagentpro.com – a typical rogue website, which takes suspiciously long to load. You should block it using your HOSTS file for maximum protection.

Antivirus Agent Pro is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and remove it upon detection.
