The FakeVimes family of malware is a large group of fake anti-virus programs that has been active since 2009. New versions of malware in this family pop-up regularly, usually with only slight tweaks to the interface and to the malware program's attack. Windows Pro Solutions is one of the many fake security programs in this family of malware. Unfortunately, in 2012 ESG malware analysts have detected a rise of malware in this family. While malware programs like Windows Pro Solutions can be removed quickly with the help of a reliable anti-malware program, it seems that malware in the FakeVimes family released in 2012 is often bundled with some version of the ZeroAccess rootkit. This makes this current generation of fake security applications in the FakeVimes family particularly difficult to remove.
Apart from Windows Pro Solutions, other rogue anti-virus programs belonging to this 2012 batch of malware include Virus Melt, Presto TuneUp, Fast Antivirus 2009, Extra Antivirus, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, PC Live Guard, Live PC Care, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus, Smart Security, Windows Protection Suite, Windows Work Catalyst.
Windows Pro Solutions is designed to scare computer users into thinking that they need to purchase a useless fake security program. In order to carry out its scam, Windows Pro Solutions will display a constant barrage of alarming error messages. This tactic, coupled with a fake system scan, pop-up notifications from the Task Bar, and various computer problems (such as browser redirects and general system instability) are designed to maintain the illusion that the victim's computer system is severely infected with viruses and Trojans. Then, Windows Pro Solutions will offer to fix these nonexistent problems, but only if the victim is willing to pay for a 'full version' of Windows Pro Solutions. ESG security analysts advise against doing this; Windows Pro Solutions has no anti-virus capabilities and is merely designed to scam inexperienced computer users.

It is still strongly recommended removing Windows Pro Solutions completely.
