Sys Protector Description:
SysProtector (alias Sys Protector) has been released to become a new scareware utility from the WiniGuard (or WiniSoft) family. It’s amazing how active these hackers are. Just the other day, they gave birth to PCprotectar and APcDefender rogues, and now they are featuring a new one. The Wini gang of cyber criminals is probably one of the most vicious hacking groups presently. SysProtector infects computers through the use of some backdoor techniques which never go without involvement of the essential elements of rogue anti-spyware industry, i.e. the tiny trojan viruses. It’s the trojan horses that pull SysProtector unsafe freeware inside and bypass any and all authentication on their way to the depths of your computer system.

As you must have figured out, Guard Pro installs itself onto one’s PC without notifying the user, nor does it certainly ask for permission.

PCprotectar Description:
PCprotectar (alias PC Protectar) is not a misspelled variant of a computer program – it’s a badware application created to take advantage of people’s credulity and make them waste money. PCprotectar refers to the notorious WiniGuard family which keeps getting ‘refilled’ by a new rogue anti-spyware tool approximately every 2 days. PCprotectar shows up on one’s computer unexpectedly because it applies latent intrusion practices. It tends to employ backdoor trojan viruses in order to infiltrate a random system so it’s not very likely that the victim notices the virus penetration proper. PCprotectar initially comes impersonated in the unregistered version which keeps on ‘detecting’ loads of parasites on the challenged PC and then recommends the unsuspecting user to register the full version. Here are some basic symptoms of
Desktop Protector 2010 Description:

AntiToolbar Description:
AntiToolbar (also known as AntiToolbar Pro or Anti Toolbar) is one more example of a bogus system improvement and phony bug-fixing utility. AntiToolbar is distributed via nice-looking yet misleading web sources that describe this software as a sophisticated instrument for optimizing one’s computer system and depriving it of unnecessary or potentially hazardous elements. If AntiToolbar gets downloaded it will usually configure the system to run its own processes ‘AntiToolbar.exe’ and ‘AntiToolbarAgent.exe’ right away as you boot up your computer. This will become a cause of random system scanners, exaggerated pop-ups and other falsified ads. For instance, AntiToolbar scans your system for errors and states to have intercepted ‘illicit adware’ that can ‘injure your hard disc and violate your private information’. Of course, the above message is anything

SpyEraser’s infiltration into any computer system will lead to unwanted consequences such as registry modifications, file system manipulations and possible PC slowdown. SpyEraser issues numerous popup boxes and runs its scanners after each startup. This adware is all about misleading you into thinking your machine is at risk. SpyEraser pretends to detect malicious entities on your computer and then asks for a fee to get them removed. In fact though, SpyEraser does not and can’t spot any viruses because it has no working AV database at its disposal. Therefore any instance of malware detection by SpyEraser should be disregarded.
