AntiVirusPro removal guide and general info on this virus. AntiVirusPro isa fake security client and from what we can tell is closely related to AntiMalwarePro. This type of fake security client most likely got installed onto your computer via a fake video codec ( AKA Trojan Virus ). If you are infected with AntivirusPro then you need to run a full scan on your computer with your favorite security client to see what other infections you may have. If you do not have a client then download a copy of SpyHunter and run a full scan. AntiVirusPro will run a scan on computer start-up and show bogus scan results in an effort to scare the user into making a purchase of the software. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SOFTWARE.
