Secure Antivirus Pro
Posted May 16, 2009
Please welcome Secure Antivirus Pro, the latest fake antivirus wanting to scam you out of your money.
From the moment it gets on your computer courtesy of a Trojan, Secure Antivirus Pro will bombard you with fake alerts for threats that aren’t even on your computer to try and trick you into buying the “full” version of Secure Antivirus Pro.
Secure Antivirus Pro likes to generates the following message:
It seems that your computer is infected with W32:Virut virus. This threat has been designed to steal money, Internet accounts, send massive amounts of spam, and commit various kinds of fraud.
It is recommended that you remove this threat immediately to avoid participating in criminal activity.
Do you want to remove Virut now?
Would you like to buy a fake antivirus to remove a threat that isn’t even on your computer? Hmm, that’s a tough one.
There aren’t any instructions yet to remove Secure Antivirus Pro so in mean time, follow these instructions:
Click Start > Run: Type MSCONFIG, Click OK
Uncheck “Load Startup Items“, click OK and restart your computer when prompted. This should stop the Secure Antivirus Pro annoying popups. Also see if there is a folder in your “Program Files” called “Secure Antivirus Pro “. If it is there, delete it.
(FYI: for some links to software we receive a commission. This is one of them. But we wouldn’t recommend Spyware Doctor if we didn’t think it would help.)
