Virus Remover Professional Is Just a Professional Scam
Title: Virus Remover Professional
Also Known as: Rogue Antispyware
Severity scale:
Lately most new rogue applications coming out are just clones of previous parasites. Virus Remover Professional is partly a clone of P Antispyware 09 and the other part is AV Antivirus. There are aspects of both of these known rogue applications, so to say that they are a full clone of either is really not the truth. Whichever way you look at it Virus Remover Professional is a dangerous program.
AKA:
P Antispyware 09
AV Antispyware

Is this case the Trojan used is the Zlob Trojan. After the Trojan gets past the computer’s standard virus protection software it begins to install Virus Remover Professional. Once installed the parasite will then post bogus scans and redirect the computer’s web browser to an associated website designed to trick the user into spending money to remove the fake threats.
