SpyProtector - How to remove May 5, 2009 By Giedrius Majauskas SpyProtector was first introduced in October of 2008, but it has recently reemerged with a few cosmetic changes as well as some new files. SpyProtector is a typical corrupt security tool. It is promoted as a spyware remover but uses malicious tactics to spread. Spy Protector is installed by Vundo and other trojans. These trojans are usually disguised as video codecs so people voluntarily download and install them. SpyProtector is also distributed via online advertisements that pretend to be security reports. If you encounter Spy Protector pop-ups while browsing the web, keep in mind that there’s no way to scan a computer from web without your permission, therefore every message loaded by SpyProtector adds is fabricated. SpyProtector uses fraudulent ways to get on users computers; this reason alone should be enough for not trusting this software. However, Spy Protector gives you more reasons to hate it. SpyProtector has no option to uninstall this tool. It imitates a computer scan and attacks people with fabricated security messages. All the alerts are falsified and shouldn’t be trusted. Spy Protector uses scare tactics to gain users’ trust and money. Using an infected computer might be very difficult because Spy Protector interrupts all activities and loads large amounts of pop-ups. Do not purchase SpyProtector and block its website spyprotector.org using your HOSTS file.
