Infected with Antivirus System Pro

5 min read

This thread's last reply is from December 2, 2009, 8:58 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I came into work this morning to find one of my computers infected with a trojan called Antivirus System Pro. I have a Hijackthis log file but I am not proficient enough to understand it. Any help in deciphering it would be greatly appreciated and if someone knows of a way to get rid of Antivirus System Pro, please advise on that as well. Another note, the computer will not boot to safe mode unfortunately, goes to a blue screen for a second and then reboots. Any way here is the generated log file.

Thank you.
I came into work this morning to find one of my computers infected with a trojan called Antivirus System Pro.


This forum was set up specifically to help home users, we do not work on business machines.

Computers used in a business environment often have policies and other modifications made to them. It is impossible for us to differentiate these from ones that have been made by an infection, so in removing what we think is an infection, we may compromise the business set up of your computer.

The scans we run often reveal information that most businesses would not want exposed in an open forum, and there are other legal constraints and ramifications involved with business machines that we are not equipped or trained to deal with.

I'm sorry but we can't help you.

I suggest you contact your IT Department, or whoever normally deals with technical issues in your company, and let them know your computer is infected. If it has been connected to a company network whilst infected, then that too may be compromised and will need to be checked.
