PRO Antispyware 2009 is a new rogue anti-spyware program, a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to trick the user into purchasing it’s "licensed version". This parasite typically enters the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, but can also be manually downloaded and installed.

Once inside and active, PRO Antispyware 2009 will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. It will also hijack the browser and attempt to reassure it’s claims by producing a falsified system scan report.

PRO Antispyware 2009 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
