- VirusProtectPro
VirusProtectPro is a rogue malware program that claims to be a commercial anti-spyware, when in fact it is, itself, adware-advertised. The software installs itself, without consent, on the user's computers and registry. It then sends messages such as "System Error, Buy this software to fix" or "Your System is infected with spyware, buy VirusProtectPro to clean it", redirecting the user to VirusProtectPro's homepage where he/she is prompted to buy the VirusProtectPro software.
There are many variants of this rogue family including: SpywareStrike, SpyFalcon, SpywareQuake, MalwareWipe, Spylocked, SpyDawn and others.
