System Protector Description:

System Protector (aka SystemProtector) is a new cyber-swindler trying to get hold of your money. System Protector is classified as a rogue anti-spyware program, so its ultimate mission is to make it look like it’s a cutting-edge antivirus utility, while it’s actually a worthless infection. System Protector propagates through Trojans that get into the target system unnoticed being a part of some insecure downloads or spam email attachments. Once dropped into your system, this Trojan will issue deceptive exaggerated popup alerts and system tray notifications alarming you about infections you supposedly have on your PC. Clicking on these alerts will automatically trigger the latent installation of System Protector trial version. When installed, System Protector unregistered will be configured to run each time you log on to Windows. The external manifestation of System Protector presence on the compromised machine is its frequent exaggerated popup ads and other annoying notifications, as well as browser redirections to Sys-look-scan.biz and suchlike malicious websites that pretend to detect infections on your PC and urge you to remove them using System Protector licensed version. Besides, System Protector inevitably slows down the infected computer and affects the internet connection quality. System Protector may also run its fabricated scanners now and again that claim to detect more viruses on your PC. The entire activity of System Protector that involves the above-mentioned deceptive notifications, browser diverts and bogus scanners, aims at scaring you into purchasing System Protector commercial version. It’s strongly recommended to remove System Protector and affiliated infections ASAP.
