WinAntiVirus Pro Removal
Title: WinAntiVirus Pro
Also Known as: WinAntiVirusPro, Win Antivirus Pro, Winantivirus Pro
Severity scale:
WinAntiVirus Pro is a rogue security program that displays misleading information through pop-up security alerts. These alerts are designed to look legitimate to the user, and to frighten them into believing that security threats exist on their PC. This is simply a ploy to get the user to purchase the full product. WinAntiVirus Pro is a variant of Trojan.Zlob, and can place cookies on your system to track your online activities. It may also disable critical system files that are needed for proper functioning. Your computer may become slow, and your personal information as well as business data may be at risk. WinAntiVirus Pro is not capable of scanning your PC for parasites or threats, so it cannot detect or delete anything at all.
Recommended Action:
Prompt Removal
AKA:

Manual Removal:
Manual removal of WinAntiVirus Pro is not advised unless you are very familiar with these processes. You must locate all related files and values in the registry, and then delete them. All running processes must be stopped. WinAntiVirus Pro files can easily hide from the user, making them impossible to detect and remove. When not done correctly, manual removal may cause severe damage to your PC. It is advised that you use a reputable antispyware tool such as Spyzooka for this task. Spyzooka will automatically detect and delete all parasites and security threats with one scan.

My computer was telling me that it was infected and i kept getting this scan on the threats I’m gettin. It told me to purchase the winantivirus pro and I did. I didn’t know what to do, because it didn’t delete anything. Now I found out that it is not an antivirus program. I’m glad that I can read this posts. I need this kind of information.
