Gο tο download.com аnԁ ɡеt SuperAntiSpyware. AƖѕο ɡеt AVG Free.
Restart уουr computer аnԁ υѕе F8 tο boot іntο safe mode. Install both tools. Rυn SuperAntiSpyware first, rυn thе full scan. Walk away fοr a whіƖе. Whеn іt’s done, Ɩеt іt remove whаt іt found. Restart thе system аnԁ boot іntο Safe Mode again аnԁ thеn rυn AVG.
Yου mау аƖѕο want tο ɡеt Root Kit Revealer, bυt οnƖу іf thе first two ԁο nοt solve thе problem. 90% οf thе time, those two tools wіƖƖ knock out A/V Pro infection.

I had that a while back.. Restart the computer, and the INSTANT you can, press CTRL+ALT+DEL (for Task Administrator). Hopefully it will come up, and quickly (before the virus can start up and close the window) go to Processes, and see if you can find the process. I judge it was just named “Windows Antivirus Pro” or something obvious. When you find it, right-click, click End Process.
Now, if it works for you like it worked for me, it should shut the virus down (for now). But it’s still there, and it probably starts up each time you restart your computer.
So, if the above worked, go to Start, and click on “Run”. Type in “msconfig”, and go to startup (these are the programs/processes that start when your computer starts).
Find Windows Antivirus Pro and un-select it. (Be precise as to what you take off the list, there’s some critical system files that NEED to start up with your computer).
Now, open up My Computer and Search for “Windows Antivirus Pro” (probably in the C: drive).
Again, be precise as to what you delete. But if it’s called Windows Antivirus Pro, I would say delete it.
After doing all of this, run a virus scan, and possibly check the msconfig “startup” area again, because sometimes the virus can add itself to the list again.
That -should- do it.
if not, try Googling “Windows Antivirus Pro virus help”.
