MalwarePatrolPro Explanation

MalwarePatrolPro is a fake anti-spyware program designed to bombard computer users with popups and system alert messages until you pay for a full version of this malicious program. MalwarePatrolPro is basically spyware that is masked as a anti-spyware program claiming to remove parasites from your computer. MalwarePatrolPro does not remove anything but the money from your pocketbook.

MalwarePatrolPro may download and install itself through a Trojan infection such as Zlob or Vundo Trojan. These Trojan infections may come from a porn site that you may have surfed or a video codec that you downloaded and installed. We strongly urge all computer users to avoid the www.MalwarePatrolPro.com website which may offer the download and purchase of MalwarePatrolPro. Do not fall into the trap of wasting your money on this worthless program. MalwarePatrolPro does you no good and you should avoid it at all costs.

MalwarePatrolPro maybe referred to as MalwarePatrolPro, Malware Patrol Pro, or MalwarePatrolPro.com on the internet.
