How to Remove AntiVirusPro 2009

AntivirusPro 2009 aka "AntiVirus Pro 2009" is another fake or rogue Anti Spyware program. Much like Antivirus 2009, this software is mistakenly installed by visiting a misleading site that attempts to convince you that your computer is infected. Once installed, AntivirusPro 2009 claims to scan your PC, resulting in a list of fake infections and security alerts that can only be removed from your computer once you purchase the software.

Moreover, once Antivirus 2009 is on your system, it can hijack your browser by installing a browser helper object that displays fake messages via Internet Explorer.

When a user browses the Internet via Internet explorer, Antivirus Pro 2009 may display a page stating that there has been "Insecure Internet activity. Threat of Virus Attack". The message contains the following prompts. "Click here to get full advanced real-time protection" or "Continue to this site unprotected (Not recommended)". Don't be alarmed, the entire message is fake.
