Antivirus2008Pro is a new rogue anti-spyware scam and a clone of Antivirus2008. This program is a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob, to infect the system and to create a reason for the user to buy Antivirus2008Pro's "licensed version". The parasite does this by displaying popups and fake system notifications, which disinform the user on the existence of an infection or multiple infections. While this information is not true it does the trick and persuades gullible users to buy.
More information on the parasite and it's removal can be found here.
