How to remove Personal Deluxe Protector?
What is Personal Deluxe Protector?
Personal Deluxe Protector is a fake spyware remover and a clone of XP Deluxe Protector. This parasite typically enters the system by using the infamous Zlob trojan, or, in some cases, Vundo. The trojan is usually disguised as a video codec and can be found in various websites. Personal Deluxe Protector uses misleading advertising to trick users into thinking their system is infected and therefore in need of the parasite’s “licensed version”.
Once inside and active, Personal Deluxe Protector will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While the system can actually be infected, Personal Deluxe Protector has neither the ability to detect nor remove any threats. Much like any other rogue, Personal Deluxe Protector performs fake system scans, which produce results that are either full of false-positives or altogether bogus. As if all of this is not enough, this parasite will also significantly decrease system performance.
Personal Deluxe Protector is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
