Antivir Solution Pro

Posted on: July 13, 2010 11:45pm

Antivir Solution Pro is a variant of Antispyware Soft and AV Security Suite which are considered to be among of the hardest fake antispyware products to remove in recent history. Antivir Solution Pro uses the same tactics as Antispyware Soft and AV Security Suite and is very good at eluding detection. In order for Antivir Solution Pro to stop you from removing it, it disables Internet connection (except to its own sales page since the ultimate goal is to have you buy this fake product), disables existing antivirus and antispyware programs, blocks access to help forums and to major name brand antispyware and antivirus vendor websites.

To put the pressure on you to buy the full version, Antivir Solution Pro starts opening porn websites such as adult.com, porno.com and porno.org, and also occasionally opens the website viagra.com. Antivir Solution Pro continually harasses the user with numerous warnings and messages saying that their computer is infected and is under attack from hackers. Antivir Solution Pro is commonly installed by a trojan or manually mistakenly downloaded from one of many fraudulent Fake Scanner Sites.

Antivir Solution Pro can block you from running programs, if that is the case, we have easy to follow special workaround instructions below.

Antivir Solution Pro displays exaggerated fake scan results similar to those shown below:

Antivir Solution Pro also displays warning messages messages similar to the following:

Antivir Solution Pro Special Removal Instructions (iexplore method, try first)

Please make sure to bookmark this page as you will need to refer back to it to complete the removal steps.

We have created a modified version of SpyNoMore to handle persistent infections such as Antivir Solution Pro. If you are able to download the modified SpyNoMore Installer directly onto the infected computer, or if you can download it to a clean computer and transfer it to the infected computer (by using a network or a flash drive), follow the steps below. NOTE: The installer will be named iexplore.exe. Otherwise please skip the next steps and proced to the second set of instructions below (version 2).

Step 1: Click here to download the SpyNoMore installer onto a clean computer and transfer it to the infected computer (by using a network or a flash drive). Otherwise download it directly onto the infected computer. NOTE: The installer will be named iexplore.exe.

Step 2: Double-click iexplore.exe to install SpyNoMore on the infected computer. When the installation is completed, SpyNoMore will check for and download available updates which will alert Antivir Solution Pro to its presence at which point Antivir Solution Pro may shut down SpyNoMore.

Step 3: Restart SpyNoMore from the desktop shortcut then click on 'Settings' and uncheck the box that says 'Use Internet Explorer settings'.

Step 4: SNM will scan your computer and if Antivir Solution Pro is present, SNM will detect it and you will be able to see either Antivir Solution Pro or Antispyware Soft in the scan results. These two are the same product. Please note that the free version of SpyNoMore will only show you the detections but will not remove them. In order to remove the infection you need to purchase a 1-year license which costs $29 (or $39 for 3 computers). In all cases, you will be able to see Antivir Solution Pro in the free version scan results.

Step 5: Purchase the activation key from a clean computer by clicking on our Purchase link on spynomore.com. Write down the activation key and use it to activate SNM on the infected computer. This will remove Antivir Solution Pro and restore your internet connection. You will again be able to run your programs and applications without trouble.

Step 6 (optional): It would be a good idea to check your computer for rootkits (which are basically hidden trojans) which may have tagged along with Antivir Solution Pro. To do so, download and run TDSSKiller by Kaspersky Labs.

Step 7 (optional): If TDSSKiller does find a rootkit, it will ask you to restart your computer so that it can remove the rootkit(s). After your computer restart, scan your computer once more with SpyNoMore to make sure everthing is OK.

Antivir Solution Pro Special Removal Instructions (version 2)

Please make sure to bookmark this page as you will need to refer back to it to complete the removal steps.

Antivir Solution Pro may prevent you from running programs and/or limit your Internet Access. Follow the steps below for such cases.

Step 1: Click on Start > Run and type: shell:Local AppData (you can copy-and-paste it). In the window that opens, look for an oddly named folder (folder name made up of randomly characters, usually all small case letters). Double-click on this folder to open it.

Step 2: Indide the folder from step 1 above, you will find a randomly-named file. Right-click on it and choose 'Rename'.

If the file name has an '.exe' extension (for example 'vurivm.exe'), rename it by ONLY ADDING 4 characters '.eee' to the end of the existing name. So in our example, the renamed file should be 'vurivm.exe.eee'. Proceed to step 3 below.

Otherwise if the file name does not have an '.exe' extension showing (for example 'vurivm'), you need to first enable file-extension view in order to see the '.exe. extension, as follows: In Windows, right-click on Start, choose Explore. On the top click on Tools > Folder Options > View. Remove the checkmark infront of 'Hide extensions for known file types. This will enable you to see and rename the '.exe' extension. Rename the file by adding the 4 characters '.eee' to its end so it would lokk something like this 'vurivm.exe.eee'.

Step 3: Restart your computer. After restart, you will notice that Antivir Solution Pro does not start up. This does not mean that Antivir Solution Pro is gone! You still need to follow the steps below to completely remove Antivir Solution Pro.

Step 4: After your computer restarts, click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and uncheck the box 'Use proxy server..'.

Step 5: Download SpyNoMore to the infected computer.

Step 6: Install SpyNoMore and scan your computer to remove Antivir Solution Pro. If SpyNoMore is unable to download available updates, please click on SpyNoMore Settings and uncheck 'Use Internet Explorer settings'. Please note that the free version of SpyNoMore will only show you the detections but will not remove them. In order to remove the infection you need to purchase a 1-year license which costs $29 (or $39 for 3 computers). In all cases, you will be able to see Antivir Solution Pro in the free version scan results.

Step 7 (optional): It would be a good idea to check your computer for rootkits (which are basically hidden trojans) which may have tagged along with Antivir Solution Pro. To do so, download and run TDSSKiller by Kaspersky Labs.

Step 8 (optional): If TDSSKiller does find a rootkit, it will ask you to restart your computer so that it can remove the rootkit(s). After your computer restart, scan your computer once more with SpyNoMore to make sure everthing is OK.
