How to Get Rid of Antivirus Pro 2010 Without Spending a Fortune
If you have been unlucky enough to see the AntiVirus Pro 2010 spyware on your computer, then I am sorry. Depending on how soon you catch it, will tell you how easy it is to get rid of.
Warning: AntiVirus Pro 2010 is NOT Safe!
AntiVirus Pro 2010 is not an antivirus program. No matter how many warning you get, please do not download the software. This is a piece of Trojan spyware. It will pester you with fake warnings and turn off your legitimate security software.
It is just another in a long line of software that tries to convince you to buy the program through fake warnings. Once you buy it, it will just infect you with more viruses and they get your credit card number. If you do buy it, it blocks your legitimate security system and sends you to Internet searches to feed their bank account. It may even completely crash your computer.
How Was My Computer Infected With AntiVirus Pro 2010?
It is hard to say how your computer originally was infected. The program stays dormant for a little bit hiding its presence. Generally, it is through a download that looked safe. Hackers like to use videos as a way to trick you. They say you have to download a particular codec to see the video. Viola! You are infected. Then a few days later, AntiVirus Pro 2010 appears and you have no clue how.
All right, Now How do I Get Rid of AntiVirus Pro 2010?
This is where things get a little complicated. I will explain three options.
Option #1: SpyWare Remover
This is your best bet and the most effective method if your computer hasn't been too badly infected. Hopefully, you have not installed it yet. Places like SpyZooka offer free scans to detect the spyware for you. You may want to try a virus scan like AVG, McAfee or Norton. Personally, I would go with SpyZooka first, but that is just a preference.
Option #2: System Restore
If option #1 does not work, then try option #2.
If you have a system restore disk, this is the time to use it. Yes, you will lose all your files and programs but it will clean off the files. AntiVirus Pro 2010 is known to delete files for you.
Option #3: Take it to a Professional
I hate to tell anyone this, but if the first two options don't work, then it is time for option #3. Sometimes AntiVirus Pro 2010 won't let you do a system restore. Take caution and remove it quick before it gets to option #3.
