Windows Proprietary Advisor

Windows Proprietary Advisor Description

A mere derivative of a common and fast-growing scamware family, Windows Proprietary Advisor shares both its appearance as an anti-malware program and its fake security features with modern variants of FakeVimes. Browser redirects, modified security settings and blocked software are all common symptoms of infection by Windows Proprietary Advisor, although Windows Proprietary Advisor’s identifying characteristics remain the fake pop-up warnings and scans that give Windows Proprietary Advisor a purpose as a rogue anti-malware program. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers strongly recommend against buying Windows Proprietary Advisor, which places your financial information and money directly into criminal hands, and suggests that you recruit real anti-malware software for the purpose of getting rid of Windows Proprietary Advisor.

The Foul Consequences at the Heart of Windows Proprietary Advisor’s Advice

Windows Proprietary Advisor has the look of an anti-malware scanner and may even be distributed by fraudulent system scanner simulations that market Windows Proprietary Advisor as a helpful form of security software, but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have confirmed Windows Proprietary Advisor as a rogue anti-malware program without any real security features to mention. Windows Proprietary Advisor’s fraudulent security can take the form of program-blocking pop-ups, pop-ups that alert you about unreal infections or scans that show results that accurate anti-malware programs will be unable to corroborate. SpywareRemove.com malware experts always discourage any attempt to treat Windows Proprietary Advisor’s security advice as legitimate, since this inevitably will result in the deletion of perfectly safe and harmless applications, folders or files.

Windows Proprietary Advisor’s malicious behavior may also include any or all of the following:

• Redirects to potentially harmful search engine sites, scamware sites and other sites of poor repute (such as securitysoftwarepayments.com, secure-plus-payments.com or paysoftbillsolution.com).
• Blocking your actual security programs, including default Windows tools and some brand of anti-malware scanners.
• Reducing your browser’s security to make it vulnerable to drive-by-downloads and other attacks that involve malicious files.

How to Fire Windows Proprietary Advisor with a Real Sage of PC Security

Like all members of FakeVimes, Windows Proprietary Advisor changes system components, such as the Windows Registry, to cause many of its attacks, and these changes should be removed by appropriate anti-malware software whenever possible. If you need to disable Windows Proprietary Advisor to access your anti-malware programs, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend a removable media-based system boot as one of the most effective (but not only) method of preventing Windows Proprietary Advisor from launching. If Windows Proprietary Advisor is deleted appropriately, long-term damage to your computer should be nonexistent.
