Torrent Alert (FakeVimes) - How to remove

Torrent Alert (FakeVimes)

Torrent Alert is an alert, used by Fake Vimes family of rogues. Its goal is to convince buying one of these rogues by scarring you into believing you are doing something illegal and “Microsoft” program will help you in that. This is simply not true.
Torrent Alert looks like that :

One might notice, that there are misspelling in the alert shown. It is likely that authors of this alert are not native English-speakers. Additionally, they claim that Microsoft’s program (like all Fake Vimes rogues claim) will provide some sort of mode that allows stealing other programs anonymously. This sounds very strange, as Microsoft is always for copyright laws. Thus it is clear this Torrent Alert is a fake.

To remove Torrent Alert, you will have to remove the FakeVimes rogue that displays it. This is done by deleting Protector-[rnd].exe file residing in Aplication Data of current user. However, we recommend scanning with antimalware program like Spyhunter. In most cases rogues responsible for this alert mess up system registry and disable antivirus, which is difficult to restore without anti-malware software.
