Antivir Solution Pro is a "fake antivirus" program which will install itself on your computer and then perform a series of fake scans on your system. Upon completing its fake scans, it will then advertise an upgrade for the virus, which you need to pay for. The whole point of this infection is that it's been designed to try and look like a legitimate antivirus program, conning you into buying the upgraded version & making the hackers money. It's important you remove this virus completely from your PC, and this is how...
There are actually two ways you could possibly remove this infection from your system. The first is to try and "manually" remove it from Windows. Because this virus is basically a rogue software application, you could just click on "Uninstall" and then let your system remove it for you. Many people do this, and may think they've removed the virus from their PC. However, this is not recommended as it will actually cause a lot more problems than it fixes. Do not manually remove this virus - as when you do that, it will actually have some files & codes which will attract more infections to your system. In order to completely clean this from your computer, you need to be able to use the right tools for the job.
The way to remove this virus is to use a program called an "Anti-Malware" tool. This type of program is basically a scanning device used to scan for infections like Antivir Solution Pro. It's highly recommended you use one of these types of tools (namely "Malwarebytes", "Spyware Doctor" or "XoftSpySE") to scan through your computer and then remove all the infected elements of the Antivir Solution Pro virus. These will basically remove these files from your system, to prevent the virus coming back:
- AntivirSolution.exe
- %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\[random]\[random].exe
The most important factor of using an anti-malware program to remove this virus is that not only will it remove the above files, but it will crucially remove the infected codes that can also cause the virus to come back. This is what manual removal does not fix, and is why you need to be able to use a program that's going to remove all elements of the infection.
It's also recommended that after using an anti-malware program to get rid of this virus, you should also look to use a "registry cleaner". The problem that hardly anyone knows about is that even if you remove a fake antivirus program, it will leave 100's of infected settings in the "registry" of your PC. The registry is a large database which stores vital settings & options for your PC, allowing Windows to recall various options it might need. If you leave any of the infected registry settings on your system, it will open the door for more viruses to come onto your PC, making it recommended you clean out every possible problem on your system.
