Threat Description:
Virus Protector is an example of corrupt software that jacks up your computer and demands money for its mythical services it can’t possibly provide. The advent of Virus Protector onto your PC is always a surprise because this rogue anti-spyware employs a number of backdoor techniques to compromise the targeted workstation. This potentially unwanted application makes a mess out of your system structure through changing such critical parameters as Registry values and System32 directory. Virus Protector eventually becomes a master of the challenged PC gradually turning it into an enslaved entity. It forces your OS to execute dangerous processes every single time the PC loads up. For savvy perception, these internal background manipulations may seem hardly noticeable until Virus Protector starts to show itself from a different aspect. It will display a wealth of popup alerts and other types of notifications in order to persuade you that your computer is at risk. Virus Protector is also prone to run virus scanners that attempt to become the last drop in the cup of your patience before you go ahead and buy its full commercial version to ‘resolve’ your security issues. In fact, that program will only make things worse instead of helping you. Virus Protector is a must-remove application (see more info below).
