Pro4Scan.com Threat Level: Pro4Scan.com is a pest

Pro4Scan.com screenshotPro4Scan.com is a scam site that runs a “free” system scan.

What a deal.

Only the scan is fake, and Pro4Scan.com tells you you’re infected with spyware that doesn’t exist, and pops up false security alerts to trick you into buying rogue anti-spyware for about $50. This Pro4Scan.com popup reads:

“The page at Pro4Scan.com says:
Windows is scanning your system for threats. The scanning is provided by our official partner Internet Antivirus Pro. Please refrain from closing the window until the scanning is finished. We highly recommend you to install the full version of Internet Antivirus Pro scanner to monitor your PC for threats and on-time security system updates.”

No matter what you click, you get another Pro4Scan.com pop-up:

“Please note that Spyware is highly malicious for your PC information privacy.
If you want to install the full version, please click “Ok”, wait for the page to load, start the installation process and follow the instructions. If you want to wait for scanning results to appear, please click “Cancel”. After Internet Antivirus Pro is installed, you can close the scanning window and remove Spyware from your computer.”

And then one more Pro4Scan.com popup, if you try to cancel its installation:

“Your computer remains infected by viruses! It can cause data loss and file damages and need to be cured as soon as possible.

Despite whatever Pro4Scan.com says, if you don’t remember how you got to Pro4Scan.com, the only crapware you’re infected with is Pro4Scan.com.

Let me show you how to block Pro4Scan.com and remove Internet Antivirus Pro, for free.
