svchost.exe has encountered a problem

Posted: July 28, 2009

"Svchost.exe has encountered a problem" is a fake security alert message generated by the fake spyware remover Windows Antivirus Pro. The "svchost.exe has encountered a problem" message reads as follows:

"svchost.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."

Receiving this fraudulent warning notification generally means your PC is infected with Windows Antivirus Pro. You will be prompted again and again to purchase and download the commercial version of this rogue spyware remover, so it is best to remove it completely.
