Windows Pro Solutions

Windows Pro Solutions Description

It’s no coincidence that Windows Pro Solutions’s name bears a strong resemblance to scamware like Windows Guard Solutions or Windows Pro Scanner, as SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have found Windows Pro Solutions to have all the expected traits of another addition to FakeVimes. This group of rogue anti-virus products disables various security functions and programs while also displaying fake security alerts, and you should consider it a high priority to delete Windows Pro Solutions from your PC with a qualified anti-malware product instead of giving in to Windows Pro Solutions’s attempts to promote its fraudulent anti-malware utility. Since Windows Pro Solutions is incapable of providing legitimate security information or removing PC threats of any stripe, spending money on Windows Pro Solutions is never appropriate, and you should feel guiltless in treating Windows Pro Solutions as just as hostile as any virus.

Why Windows Pro Solutions is More of a Problem Than an Answer to One

Windows Pro Solutions markets itself as an anti-virus program, and while its looks back this marketing up, its actual features are as fake as any other rogue anti-virus scanner’s could be. System scans from Windows Pro Solutions will always contain countless examples of high-level PC threats that aren’t, in reality, on your hard drive, while Windows Pro Solutions’s pop-up alerts will use various fraudulent warnings about network-based attacks, identity theft and other issues that could plausibly be detected by a security or anti-malware program. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers warn against any attempt to follow the advice enclosed within a Windows Pro Solutions pop-up, since doing so has a high chance to cause you to harm innocent system files or send you off on a wild goose chase trying to catch malicious software that doesn’t exist.

The upside to Windows Pro Solutions’s poor pretensions at anti-malware security means that there’s no need to spend money on Windows Pro Solutions – regardless of Windows Pro Solutions’s opinion on the matter. On the other hand, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found some use in faking registration for Win32/FakeVimes-based rogue AV programs like Windows Pro Solutions, which can be accomplished with the code ’0W000-000B0-00T00-E0020.’ Doing this may make it less difficult than usual to remove Windows Pro Solutions later, if you experience problems with removing Windows Pro Solutions in an initial anti-malware scan.

Examples of Reasons Not to Delay Solving the Windows Pro Solutions Conundrum

While Windows Pro Solutions, as a rogue anti-virus scanner, is primarily defined by its fake security functions, Windows Pro Solutions may also use other attacks behind the scenes to reduce your computer’s security. Some issues that SpywareRemove.com malware research team has frequently seen with similar FakeVimes programs have been noted here for reference:

• Disabled Windows UAC features.
• Disabled protection against downloading files with invalid signature identification (a method of protecting against malicious files and software).
• Browser hijacks that interfere with your online searches by redirecting you to unusual sites.
• Blocked security and anti-malware products – while Windows Pro Solutions will claim that all blocked programs are infected or otherwise damaged, you should, as always, ignore Windows Pro Solutions’s fraudulent security advice.
