Type: Malware	Severity scale: (82 / 100)

AdWare Pro 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware application. Probably it was created by the same group of thimbleriggers who released AdwarePro 2007. AdWarePro 2008 gains access into system through Video ActiveX Codec. Actually, it's not a video codec. It's a dangerous Trojan Zlob. Don't install Video ActiveX Codec at any circumstances.
After infection, system is flooded with fake security alerts and notifications. Then Trojan offers to perform a full system scan with AdWare Pro 2008 software. It is very important to reject this invitation and to understand that AdWarePro2008 is a very dangerous application. Otherwise, your private data will be in great danger. We strongly recommend users to remove this rogue as soon as possible if already infected.
