Antivir Solution Pro is a rogue anti-spyware application that claims to keep the machine secure
Antivir Solution Pro is a program that could be considered to be a potentially unwanted application because it is distributed with other programs. This is the rogue tool from the same family as AV Security Suite and Antispyware Soft. This fake program is typically promoted via fake online scanners and misleading web pop-ups that appear when browsing bogus websites.
Those pop-ups will state that your computer is infected with adware, spyware, and other malware. Then you will be prompted to download and run their malware removal tool which is Antivir Solution Pro of course. Please also note that the rogue program may come bundled with other malware or it can enter your computer through software vulnerabilities. However, most of the time it has to be manually installed. If you find that your computer is infected with this virus, please follow the removal instructions below.

Once Antivir Solution Pro is active, it will be configured to start automatically when loading Windows. The rogue program will scan your computer and detect non-existent or system files as infections, but won't let you remove them until you purchase the program.

What is more, the rogue program will display fake security alerts on your computer screen every one or two minutes. These alerts will range from warnings about your computer be hacked to active malware processes being detected. Some of the fake security alerts read:
