How to remove Badware Protector?
What is Badware Protector?
Badware Protector is a new rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses disinformation to trick the user into purchasing it’s licensed version. Despite having a name that’s unmatched in all categories of ridiculous, Badware Protector is no different than any other rogue. This parasite typically enters the system by using the infamous trojan Zlob, which is usually disguised as a codec.
Once inside and active, Badware Protector will flood the user with popups and fake sytem notifications, supposedly to "inform" him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may coincidentally contain a grain of truth, Badware Protector has neither the ability to detect nor remove spyware, and as such it’s advice should not be heeded under any circumstances. Much like most other rogues, Badware Protector will perform fake system scans, which produce exaggerated results, and might hijack the browser.
badware-protector.com, the home of this parasite, is no different from any other rogue website: most of the content has been copied from one rogue or another, there are no contact details and the payment system is of highly dubious nature.
Badware 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.
