WTF is Antivirus System Pro and how do I get rid of it?

You Should NEVER be forced to refomat. One game computer guys love to plan ( But not me ) is called restore system. That means that any thing you do before your 'backup' is lost. You might need to reinstall your operating system for a registry error, or do an overlay install of your operating system. BEWARE of computer guys. They do not have your interest at heart. They want the simplest way to end your problem.

Anyway that is the past. Make sure you check microsoft for updates offen. I suggest if you can you do your updates yourself. Not all updates are needed for your system.

As you got hit make sure that you also have a firewall to go with your antivirus. I would also suggest If you do not already have it adding HIPS program also called a program firewall. You should control the programs you run. And also it might be a good idea for a registry checker something that ask you before making changes.

This system has the following

1) (just me. Do not follow unless you understand why) NO SYSTEM RESTORE
2) Comodo as a firewall with HIPS ( Host Intrusion prevention system )
3) Avast as a Antivirus
4) Winpatrol as a registry / startup manager
5) Ccleaner to remove temp file and chean the registry

All of these are free
