Antivirus Pro 2009 (AntivirusPro 2009)

Description:
Antivirus Pro 2009 (or AntivirusPro 2009) is a rogue anti-spyware, a program that claims to detect and remove or disable spyware, viruses or other Internet threats. However, its capabilities are limited, and the tool may actually function as spyware or adware. This rogue software uses malware (malicious software) or malicious tools to advertise or install itself or to force computer users to pay for removal of nonexistent spyware. Antivirus Pro 2009 will often install a trojan horse to download a trial version, or it will execute other unwanted actions.
Antivirus Pro 2009 intentionally misrepresents the security status of a computer and attempts to convince the user that he or she must remove potentially unwanted programs or security risks (usually nonexistent or fake) from the computer.
this fake security tool will hold the user hostage by refusing to allow him or her to remove or fix the phantom problems until the “required” software is purchased and installed.
