    Infected with Antivirus System Pro and search engines are redirecting

    I had some virus in my system since this morning. I am not sure about the same. Actually I had found Antivirus System Pro in my system. But I had not installed this. After that I am noticing a series of problem in my pc. But now situation is getting worse. When I open Google in my web browser it takes to me a different site. The site gives tons of porn popups. I want to stop this out. What can I do here.

    For that download Random's System Information Tool (RSIT) and saves it on the desktop. Then double-click to launch RSIT.exe RSIT. Click continue to display Disclaimer. If the tool HijackThis is not present or not detected on your computer then download the RSIT and allows access to your firewall if requested. Then run a full system scan and when the scan is complete, two text files will open. This log file will tell you the location of virus file.

    The best option is using MalwareBytes's Anti-Malware. Download the file and then run the setup by double-clicking the file Download_mbam-setup.exe. Then runs now MalwareBytes's Anti-Malware. If you have not already done, select Perform full examination. To start searching, click on Search. Once the scan is complete, a window opens which will give you stats. You can click on Show result and then choose Delete selected.

    This fake virus spread through untrusted browsers such as Internet Explorer version 6 see 7 and 8 as long as the user accepts activex components like. So you must not accept any downloads. There are lots of other name of this antivirus. Fake antivirus programs are harmful behind which hides a virus, trojan, malware or other crap. They behave as if an antivirus detects a virus except that the virus is the program itself.

    To remove the users in the panel, is simple: a window (Popup) opens in your browser informing you that your PC is infected, Of course this is completely untrue. This window looks like in every way to that of a real virus, even experienced users can fall into the trap. At this point your machine is not contaminated because it is a simple web page. For that boot in safe mode and scan your system.

    You might need to re-install Windows. Because this is fatal error which spoils your windows registry file. For the browser redirection issue you can just re-install your web browser and then see whether it is working or not. Remove Fake Anti-Virus is a free utility that compiles all removals in only 83KB. It is thus able to remove all junk. Best is to keep your firewall on or to use a better firewall security.

    To avoid finding yourself with these fake antivirus and antispyware on your PC, here are some tips. First use the most recent browser and type update Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Chrome / Safari fitted with protective anti-phishing. Use Internet Explorer in case of last option. Always keep your antivirus update to date. Avira AntiVir is the most powerful free solutions. Scan the PC at least every 15 days with Super Antispyware Free or Malwarebytes Antimalware Free
