Antivirus Security Pro is a computer infection from the

Rogue.WinWebSec

family of rogue anti-spyware programs. This program is considered as a rogue because it pretends to be a legitimate anti-virus program while really showing fake scan results and security alerts and does not allow you to run any program on your computer. This program is distributed through hacked web sites that exploit vulnerabilities on your computer and through fake online scanners that state you are infected and then prompt you to install the program.

When Antivirus Security Pro is installed on your computer it will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. Once started, it will scan your computer and then state that there are numerous infections present. If you try to clean these infections, though, Antivirus Security Pro will state that you first need to purchase a license of the program before being allowed to do so. In reality, none of these files are infected or even exist on your computer, so please ignore the results and do not purchase the program.

To protect itself from being removed, Antivirus Security Pro will also terminate any. exe or. com program that you attempt to run on your computer. It does this to protect itself from being removed by legitimate programs and to scare you into thinking they are infected. The message that you will see when the infection terminates a program is:

Warning. Infected file detected

Location: File System

Suspicious activity detected in the application notepad.exe to the behavior of the virus Win32/Conficker.X. For your security and to avoid loss of data, the operation of application cmd.exe has been temporarily restricted.

Do not be concerned when you see this message as your programs are not infected and will work normally after this infection is removed.

While Antivirus Security Pro is active it will also display random security alerts that are worded to scare you into thinking your infected. The text of these alerts are:

Warning. Infected file detected.

We strongly recommend activating full edition of your antivirus software for repairing threats.

Warning. Network attack attempt detected.

To keep the computer safe, the threat must be blocked.

Last, but not least, this infection with hijack your web browser so that you will be shown a message stating that sites you are visiting are unsafe. When you see this message you can safely click on the Ignore warnings and visit that site in the current state not recommended link so that you can browse to the desired site. Just like the scan results, these alerts can safely be ignored.

Without a doubt, Antivirus Security Pro was created to scare you into thinking that you are infected so that you will then purchase the program. It goes without

saying that you should definitely not purchase this program, and if you already have,

please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that

the program is a scam and a computer virus. To remove Antivirus Security Pro and other

related malware, please use the free removal guide below.

Self Help Guide

This guide is intended for advanced computer users only. Please ensure your data is backed up before proceeding.

If you re uncomfortable making changes to your computer, consider having a professional help clean your computer or ask in the forums.

Print out these instructions as we may need to close every window that is

open later in the fix.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking. To

do this, turn your computer off and then back on and immediately when you

see anything on the screen, start tapping the F8 key on your

keyboard. Eventually you will be brought to a menu similar to the one below:

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, select Safe Mode with Networking

and press Enter on your keyboard. If you are having trouble

entering safe mode, then please use the following tutorial: How

to start Windows in Safe Mode

Windows will now boot into safe mode with networking and prompt you to login

as a user. Please login as the same user you were previously logged in with

in the normal Windows mode. Then proceed with the rest of the steps.

It is possible that the infection you are trying to remove will not allow

you to download files on the infected computer. If this is the case, then

you will need to download the files requested in this guide on another computer

and then transfer them to the infected computer. You can transfer the files

via a CD/DVD, external drive, or USB flash drive.

Before we can do anything we must first end the processes that belong to

Antivirus Security Pro

so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. To do this, please

download RKill to your desktop from the following link.

RKill

Download Link - Download page will open in a new tab or browser window.

When at the download page, click on the Download Now button

labeled iExplore.exe download link. When you are prompted

where to save it, please save it on your desktop.

Once it is downloaded, double-click on the iExplore.exe

icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with

and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program looks for various

malware programs and ends them. When it has finished, the black window will

automatically close and you can continue with the next step. If you get a

message that RKill is an infection, do not be concerned. This message is just

a fake warning given by

when it terminates programs that may potentially remove it. If you run into

these infections warnings that close RKill, a trick is to leave the warning

on the screen and then run RKill again. By not closing the warning, this typically

will allow you to bypass the malware trying to protect itself so that RKill

can terminate

. So, please try running RKill until the malware is no longer running. You

will then be able to proceed with the rest of the guide. Do not reboot

your computer after running RKill as the malware programs will start again.

If you continue having problems running RKill, you can download the other

renamed versions of RKill from the RKill

download page. Both of these files are renamed copies of RKill, which

you can try instead. Please note that the download page will open in a new

browser window or tab.

At this point you should download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or MBAM, to scan your computer for any any infections or adware that may be present. Please download Malwarebytes from the following

location and save it to your desktop:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Download Link Download page will open in a new window

Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer, including

this one.

Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe.

This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.

When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue

with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings

and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave Launch

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button. If MalwareBytes prompts you to reboot, please do not do so.

MBAM will now start and you will be at the main screen as shown below.

Please click on the Scan Now button to start the scan. If there is an update available for Malwarebytes it will automatically download and install it before performing the scan.

MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can

take quite a while, so we suggest you do something else and periodically

check on the status of the scan to see when it is finished.

When MBAM is finished scanning it will display a screen that displays any malware that it has detected. Please note that the infections found may be different

than what is shown in the image below due to the guide being updated for newer versions of MBAM.

You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove

all the seleted malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry

keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM

may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message

stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer

has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the

steps.

You can now exit the MBAM program. If Malwarebytes did not prompt you to reboot your computer, please do so that you are back in normal mode.

As many rogues and other malware are installed through vulnerabilities found

in out-dated and insecure programs, it is strongly suggested that you use

Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs on your computer. A tutorial on

how to use Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs can be found here:

How to

detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector

Your computer should now be free of the

program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through,

you may want to consider purchasing the

PRO version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect against these types

of threats in the future.
