For about 3 days I was struggling trying to find a way to get rid of the spyware named WinAntiVirusPro, it had constant popups basically it was spyware pimping anti-spyware programs and also a porn eraser for the office program. I don't know how I got it but it was a pain, and it would have taken me hours longer to do my school work so it was quite frusturating.

How I fixed it I bought and downloaded multiple legit spyware programs and they would not take care of the program. I have Avast, SpywareDoctor, SpywareSweeper, and even Microsoft programs. None would fix the problem finally I Googled WinAntiVirusPro and found a thread about downloading a free program SuperAntiSpyware it also recommended VundoFix, but the SuperAntiSpyware took care of the problem for me.

Popups that you have this virus/spyware. Multiple popups for of course WinAntiVirusPro, SystemDoctor, and I'm sure multiple and new fake anti-spyware/virus programs and the main site that constantly popped up on startup etc. was a site named onlinestability.com; which actually would never come up into a site.

I know that this isn't a forum topic that will get many posts unless someone has/had this spyware, but hopefully if anyone does end up with this virus if they search on this site, which I did, they can come across this topic for help. BTW, if my tips don't work google WinAntiVirusPro and people much more knowledgeable will be able to help.

when i get something like that (very rarely) i just use it as an excuse to do a clean install.

I am not very computer savy, though I am on one alot, I don't even know what a clean install is. Can you explain it to me and I'm sure others.

Fresh format and reinstall of winders

I had to do that recently and when I did I had some spyware thing start up immediately? Like I got on, was here, email then Myspace... bam... there it was.

The sad thing is nothing I did would fix my issue...

Strangely enough when I was able to download service pack 1 and two and all updates I stopped having issues...
