Hi, I am very annoyed right now because an unknown program that keeps alarming me about spyware in my system. I tried to run my anti-spyware program which is Windows Defender and it detected trojans and I quarantined it but the alleged malware on my taskbar still runs and having balloon popups. I tried to use task manager and it doesn't show any process relating to it. I'm pretty sure I didn't install this anonymous program. I'm trying to turn it off but when I'm clicking to it (left and/or right), it opens as a internet link and it opens my IE, directing to www.virusprotectpro.com/aff=012. I refrained myself not to explore this site as this may be a possible phishing site. How can I remove this in my Pc? Here's the links for a snapshot of what it looks like..<br />

Greetings,"The latest rogue anti-spyware program installed via Zlob infections is VirusProtectPro. VirusProtect Pro is installed via a type of Trojan infection called Zlob Trojans which masquerade as video or audio codecs required to view a movie or listen to a audio file. In reality, though, these Trojans instead install VirusProtectPro as well as other malware on to your computer without permission."

It is an spyware!

Run your anti-spyware in Safe Mode.If you dont have an excellent anti-spyware or your current anti-spyware can't prevent spyware from Invading you computer,download a better one.
There are top 5 anti-spywares reviews,comparisons and download links on

You can download and scan your computer for free.

As the computer is booting press your "F8 Key" repeatly which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" . Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

After into safe mode,run an anti-spyware to remove the spyware and adware on you computer.

Make sure you have 1 or 2 antispyware on your computer and 1 antivirus and also 1 firewall.
