How to remove Antivir Solution Pro (Uninstall instructions)

Antivir Solution Pro is a new fake security tool from the same family of rogue antispyware programs as AV Antivirus Suite, AV Security Suite, Antispyware Soft, Antivirus Suite, etc. Like other rogues, the program is promoted and distributed with the help of trojans. When the trojan is activated, it will install this malware onto your computer and configure it to run automatically when Windows starts.

Once Antivir Solution Pro started, the rogue will perform a system scan and “detect” a lot of infected files, trojans, worms, and so on, that will not be fixed unless you first purchase the full version of the program. Of course this is not necessary. The scan results, as well as the “system scan”, is nothing but a scam. In reality Antivir Solution Pro cannot detect and remove any infections, as well as not be able to protect you from possible infections in the future. Thus, you can safely ignore all that the rogue antispyware will show you.

While Antivir Solution Pro is running, it will block the ability to run any programs as a method to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with malware. The following warning will be shown when you try to run a program:

Application cannot be executed. The file {program} is infected.
Do you want to activate your antivirus software now.

What is more, this malicious program will display a wide variety of alerts, reminders, security messages from Windows task bar that stats:

Antivirus software alert
INFILTRATION ALERT
Your computer is being attacked by an
internet virus. It could be a password-stealing
attack, a trojan-dropper or similar.

Windows Security alert
Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software
helps to protect your computer against viruses and other
security threats. Click here for the scan your computer. Your
system might be at risk now.

Windows Security alert
Application cannot be executed. The file {filename} is
infected.
Do you want to activate your antvirus software now?

In addition to the above-described, Antivir Solution Pro will hijack your Internet Browser by configuring it to use a malicious proxy server so, it will randomly show a warning page that stats “Internet Explorer Warning – visiting this web site may harm your computer!”. Do not trust the warnings, like false scan results, the malicious program uses them to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with viruses and malware.

As you can see Antivir Solution Pro is a fraudulent program that you should to try to remove immediately after the discovery on the your computer. Do not be fooled into buying the program!

THANK YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH! You didn’t tell me to buy anything, just told me how to fix it, then recommended that I buy some piece of software (which I might, and I never pay for software).

Patrik, you are the man

Hi all, i runned all the steps mentioned and for a few moment the problem was gone. But when i tried to install a new antivirus system (NOD32 v4) the spyware came back? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Comment by Bas — July 26, 2010 #
There is a runDLL message that keeps coming up after I used the HijackThis, before I did the Malware scan. is that because I deleted something I wasn’t supposed to when i was using the HijackThis? Or is that normal procedure?

Comment by Rachel — July 26, 2010 #
Virus is blocking HijackThis… and i have renamed the file.
Anyone has a suggestion ?

Comment by polyp — July 27, 2010 #

Comment by Jason — July 29, 2010 #

Comment by Bas — July 29, 2010 #
thanks for this it all worked, remember to take your time and follow instructions carefully, i have kaspersky and it didnt protect me against this. i had to download hijack tool on another machine and then transfer it to mine, as every thing was blocked on my machine.

Comment by jon — July 30, 2010 #
I removed the spyware but my proxy is still messed up. I try to connect to the internet and it won’t let me (no fake messages, but actual firefox message saying proxy is not returning connection). I tried changing to auto proxy detection, no proxy and use system proxy. None work. Wireless network is working fine for other devices.

Comment by Fred — July 31, 2010 #
This worked a treat. Thank you very much for taking the time to put these instructions up!

Comment by Robin — July 31, 2010 #

Thank you very much for this insightful uninstall information.

Comment by Michael — August 1, 2010 #
Thank you so much. I followed the instructions and that bloddy program was removed. I just hope someone can identify the bastards responsible for this virus.

Comment by Wayne — August 2, 2010 #
Fred, in Firefox settings you need to select “No proxy” option.

Comment by Patrik — August 2, 2010 #
I ran HiJackthis and malwarebytes and everything went perfectly. I restarted and it turns out my startup files got corrupted somewhere along the process and now I can’t get into windows, not even safe mode. Is this something that has ever happened?

Comment by Kyle — August 2, 2010 #
Kyle, try select “Last good configuration” in Windows Advanced options menu.

Comment by Patrik — August 2, 2010 #
What if you cant get in to internet options…my browser has no tools area…I can get in to controll panel but i cant reach the tab it pops up but goes away and im warned again

Comment by Wendy — August 2, 2010 #
Thanks Patrik, I have tried that a few times but it does the same thing. Do you have any ideas of what may have went wrong? I’m running XP home edition and I’m almost certain I selected the correct files when I ran HiJackthis so I’m pretty stumped.

Comment by Kyle — August 3, 2010 #
Wendy, follow the steps below.
1. reboot your computer in Safe mode with networking.
2. run Internet Explorer, Click Tools -> Internet Options. Select Connections Tab and click to Lan Settings button. Uncheck “Use a proxy server” box. Click OK. Click OK.
3. go to step 3 above.
