How to remove Malware Protector 2008?
What is Malware Protector 2008?
Malware Protector 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware program like many others. It is, esentially, a fake spyware remover, which uses illegitimate tactics to gain the user’s trust and otherwise persuade him to buy it’s "licensed version". Malware Protector 2008 typically makes it’s way to the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, which lurk in porn/warez websites disguised as video codecs.
Once inside and active, the trojan floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him on the existence of an infection or multiple infections on the system. This information is completely false, but it is used to create a reason for the user to buy an anti-spyware program. The popups will lead him to Malware Protector 2008 – a self-fashioned "leader" of the anti-spyware world. If you fall for these lies – consider yourself scammed.
Malwareprotector2008.com, the home of this parasite, is filled with content, copied from various other rogue websites.

Malware Protector 2008 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block malwareprotector2008.com using your HOSTS file.

Malware Protector 2008 replaced my wallpaper with its own wallpaper, then removed the Desktop and Screensaver tabs from the screen properties of the user that was logged on when infected. I was able to find and change the wallpaper for that user in the registry, but haven’t been able to restore the tabs. The tabs are OK for the other users. Help! Also if I log on as administrator or any other user I cannot access the folders and files for the user that was active when the PC was infected. If I log in as that user then I can access its files as well as all other users. I suspect it will take a registry tweak to fix these problems.
