How to remove PCAntiVirusPro?
What is PCAntiVirusPro?
PCAntiVirusPro is a rogue anti-spyware program, which has recently surfaced on the web. It doesn’t seem to do anything out of the ordinary: PCAntiVirusPro infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, and proceeds to intimidate the user with fake threat reports in hopes that he will buy the fake "full version".
Once inside, PCAntiVirusPro unleashes a flood of popups and fake system notifications to "inform" the user that his system is infected and needs cleaning. The parasite also provides a tool for this task, which is, of course, the "full" and paid version of PCAntiVirusPro. Far too often users fall for this trick and buy the program, which is actually completely non-functional.
PCAntiVirusPro’s homepage suggests that it is the best, most cutting-edge solution to all your problems, since, if you choose to trust the content, pretty much every problem is caused by malware. There is no contact information to be found and the domain is registered to an obscure person and an even more obscure domain. Scam? You can be sure of it.
