Remove SysProtector fake antispyware

Published: Friday, January 8th, 2010

SysProtector (Sys Protector) is another unsafe program to include directly in the black list of applications you never want on your PC. Regardless of what impression SysProtector creates at first sight, it is a pure example of phony antispyware. The appearance of SysProtector on one’s computer is usually a big surprise because it does not ask for any permission prior to getting downloaded at all. SysProtector is using obfuscated techniques to crawl into your PC being a part of bogus video codecs or some other corrupt files disguised as useful stuff. SysProtector affects your registry in the first place and adds some new entries which will determine some features of your computer’s behavior further on. As an example, SysProtector will configure your OS to execute its process SysProtector.exe immediately after Windows is launched. As long as that process is running, you will experience deceptive scanners activity, false alerts and malware infiltration notifications that report virus detection. It’s pretty odd but SysProtector then suggests you to register its full version to exterminate the infections that do not exist on your PC in fact. It sure makes absolutely no sense buying SysProtector to get rid of something malicious that isn’t there. So it’s best to remove SysProtector completely from your computer once you locate its presence there.

SysProtector behavior on the infected PC:

If your system is contaminated with rogue anti-spyware, you are likely to encounter the following symptoms:

• SysProtector slows down your computer and causes occasional PC freezes
• SysProtector hijacks the homepage and redirects the web-browser to its affiliated malicious websites
• SysProtector decreases the internet connection speed
• SysProtector displays annoying fake alerts
• SysProtector may install a rootkit or trojan in your system

How do you detect SysProtector on your PC:

Accurate malware detection is an issue of ultimate priority in terms of resisting the infection. Malicious programs can mutate and thus prevent security utilities from detecting the actual threat. The malware residing on one’s PC can also promote other stealthy viruses whose presence is hard to recognize, which makes the detection even more complicated. We recommend using the free automatic solution to scan your computer and detect all malicious activity with highest precision.
