WinAntiVirus Pro is a Pro at Trickery
WinAntiVirus Pro is a rogue security program that is a variant of Trojan.Zlob. Through misleading and aggressive advertising, it intends to make the user believe that serious threats reside on their PC. Incessant pop-up security warnings will inform the user that security threats exist, and invite them to download their scan in order to detect these threats. The entire process is a ploy to take your money.

Once WinAntiVirus Pro “scans” your computer, it will display results to you which are supposedly the infected files. These results are a fake. WinAntiVirus Pro has no ability to scan your PC, so obviously it cannot detect or remove anything, although most likely nothing was there to begin with. If you are curious where these malicious applications come from, there are various sources. Shared P2P networks, unsecure websites, spam emails and commonly downloaded files such as music, freeware and games are the usual culprits.

WinAntiVirus Pro should be removed as soon as detected. Rogue security programs like this can put your PC and your personal information at real risk. They often hijack your browser, taking you to unknown websites or sites that advertise their product. They will also disable critical system files that are necessary for your computer to function properly. Because of the enormous amount of system resources and memory these fake antispyware programs use, your computer will most likely be very slow and not perform well.

Malicious applications like this one are well known for placing cookies on your PC to track your online activities. This enables them to get information about your online searches, and even personal passwords and other business data. Your information may be sold to third parties, which will in turn lead to pop-up ads and spam emails related to your interests. Malware is dangerous, and should be taken seriously. While manual removal is a possibility, it is not advised because of the risk of causing serious damage to your PC. It is a very complex and often difficult process.

Are you suspicious that WinAntiVirus Pro may reside on your PC? Click here now for a scan with Spyzooka, the highest rated antispyware tool on the market. One scan and parasites are gone – 100% guaranteed.
