Ad-Ware Pro is a rogue Anti-Spyware program. This security risk can be downloaded by clicking on certain Internet advertisements, but it must be manually installed. When a user downloads Ad-Ware Pro and runs a scan, the program reports false scan alerts. The user is then prompted to pay for a full license of the application in order to remove the threats.

This rogue software spreads from a Trojan and is installed automatically without user’s knowledge and consent.

Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP
Behavior: Ad-Ware Pro is a misleading application that may give exaggerated reports of threats on the computer.

How to remove Ad-Ware Pro

Download and install SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Both security programs come with free versions.

I recommend that you run multiple passes of SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

It’s important that you keep your security programs up to date. I highly recommend downloading the WOT (Web of Trust) add-on for IE and/or Firefox. The WOT add-on warns you about risky sites before you click.
