Since early 2012, ESG security analysts have observed a resurgence in malware infections related to the FakeVimes family of malware. This is probably due to the fact that criminals have started to bundle malware in the FakeVimes family with dangerous rootkits in the Sirefef family. Working together, these fake security programs are considerably more difficult to remove than rogue security programs belonging to previous versions of the FakeVimes family of malware. Windows Proprietary Advisor is one of the many bogus security tools released in 2012. Like its predecessors, Windows Proprietary Advisor will try to trick its victims that their machine is severely infected with malware in order to fool them into purchasing fake security applications.
Dealing with a Windows Proprietary Advisor Infection
Windows Proprietary Advisor will try to convince you that you need to 'upgrade' to a supposed full version by purchasing a registration code. While entering this registration code will stop Windows Proprietary Advisor from causing many annoying symptoms on your computer system, the infection will remain on your computer system, potentially endangering your data. You can 'register' Windows Proprietary Advisor with the code 0W000-000B0-00T00-E0020. However, you should remove Windows Proprietary Advisor entirely with the help of reliable anti-spyware software to ensure that your machine is safe. To prevent future Windows Proprietary Advisor infections, ESG security analysts recommend using a strong anti-malware scanner and being careful when browsing the Internet.
