Hello,
a pop up said that my windows was infected with spyware, and said i needed to download AV pro 2009, so i clicked on it, but i noticed that it said "Pleace wait" so i knew it must of been a virus or something as an actual AV program wouldnt really have mistakes in it, so i never actually installed it, but i cant get the pop ups away, and also when i type in something on google it redirects me to a page advertising AV pro 2009, and it also blocked websites that could help with the problem, but i can get on here now, just wondering if anyone knows what to do.
Thanks,
Karl.

I just recently had to deal with the problem of Antivirus Pro. I already had Windows Defender on my laptopand McAfee. These two programs were not able to remove the virus. So I installed Malwarebyte at the advice of my brother, well it appeared to work great, the pop-ups were gone. However, the next day I tried to use my laptop, it was back with a vengence. I was not able to run any of my antivirus software! I tried to go to the microsoft website and do an online scan and virus removal and before it could get even halfway done with the scan, my laptop just shut down. I think malwarebytes fools you into thinking it works, and then infects your system worse.

Malwarebytes does not infect your computer. I am presently working on the same virus. One of the things it does is changes permissions on folders, specifically Malwarebytes and most other antivirus programs. As of yet I have not been able to remove it.
Apparrently this virus also goes by the name Total Security.

I got infected with Antiviruspro while Avira (free addition was running) When I started to study what I supposed to do to remove it I got frustrated and decided to run good old "system restore" from my OEM disk and WOW!!!! antivirus pro bites a dust horeyyyy
So u may not need to buy a fancy soft to deal with this sh...t.

There now is an "Antivirus Pro 2010." Malwarebytes Anti Malware DOES work to remove it.

BEWARE this thing (Antivirus Pro); it's very deceptive and vicious, it's a very "dangerous" virus!

This Virus has a couple different forms. Some are worse than others. I have had it once on my Home PC and recently our network at my workplace was infected. Malwarebytes MIGHT work with one form of it but will not for others.

The virus attaches itself to .exe files on your PC and continues to copy itself over and over. 1 virus in a matter of a day will copy itself many times. I had over 800 instances on my PC alone. It will also disable your system restore and delete entries so that you can't restore back before you got it. It will also close and disable anti virus programs such as Malwarebytes so that you cannot run them and remove it. It logs all passwords on your computer that are saved or stored. It will also change your administrative password as well to lock you out.

The virus is removeable. But my personal opinion is that if you are infected with this Virus and want to be absolutely sure it is gone... Back up any files you want, reformat your drive, and start fresh.
