Smart Protector - How to remove July 31, 2009 By gabriele Smart Protector is a fraudulent anti-virus program, which imitates the legitimate Smart Protector Pro. Simulating to be a legal security application is one of deceiving methods used by Smart Protector and all this is done to gain a purchase. Trustful computer users are tricked into spending their money for this useless software which can neither scan a PC nor delete some infections. Smart Protector is installed to the PC system like many other rogue anti-spywares, without any notice of the owner, and it starts to initiate a fake system scan immediately. Annoying popup ads and fake security alerts appear to warn the user about what a serious problem he has. However, the solution to get rid of viruses detected is presented right away and this is a “licensed” Smart Protector version, of course. Don’t spend your money for this scam in any way because this program is virus by itself. Use a reputable anti-spyware to scan your computer and remove Smart Protector as soon as it was detected Automatic Malware removal tools Download Spyhunter for Malware detection(Win) Note: Spyhunter trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Download Combo Cleaner for Malware detection(Mac) Note: Combo Cleaner trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Refund Policy , Manual removal Processes: smartprotector.exe uninstall.exe Dll: internet.dll Files: c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\config.cnf c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\mainbase.adb c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\q.adb c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\queue.vdb c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\smartprotector.exe c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\uninstall.exe c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\virusbase.adb c:\\Program Files\\Smart Protector\\quarantine c:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Media Index\\Drivers c:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Media Index\\internet.dll %UserProfile%\\Desktop\\Smart Protector.lnk %UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Smart Protector %UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Smart Protector\\Smart Protector.lnk %UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Smart Protector\\Uninstall.lnk Registers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Smart Protector HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Smart Protector HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet002\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E96E-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\\S HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run \"smartprotector\" Removal guides in other languages Smart Protector (de) Smart Protector facts Type: Rogue Anti-Spyware Download Spyhunter for Malware detection(Win) Note: Spyhunter trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Download Combo Cleaner for Malware detection(Mac) Note: Combo Cleaner trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Refund Policy , TOC Leave a ReplyYour email address will not be published.
