Though the name sounds similar to many legitimate antivirus programs, AntivirusProfessional is actually a rogue antivirus application and a scam. It uses Trojan horses to sneak aboard computers and dubious tactics to try to scare the infected users. The system security alerts that it delivers are phony, as are the scans it performs and the scan results that it generates. The user is then told that the infections that AntivirusProfessional detected can only be removed if they purchase the registered version of the rogue.

A computer that is infected with this rogue will experience hindered performance and a slower Internet connection. It may also have its browser hijacked and homepage changed. So, if this program has infected your computer, you should have it removed as soon as possible. To remove it manually, start by killing the following processes:

Anti-Virus Professional.exe
unins000.exe
