What is Windows Accelerator Pro?

Windows Accelerator Pro is a dangerous virus, classified as rogue antispyware program. Once infected, you will not be able to use your computer properly anymore. The most common way that Windows Accelerator Pro uses to infiltrate your computer is through various Windows or your internet browser's vulnerabilities.

It then forces you to believe your system is highly infected and make you purchase the program to clean your PC. However, the main infection here is Windows Accelerator Pro itself. To be more distinguishable, it disables your desktop and changes it into black background, so that you would not be able to use any other program but the rogue antispyware.

Basically, no other application can be executed if Windows Accelerator Pro is running in the background. If you attempt to launch any app, you will instantly notice a system tray notification like the one below:
