Next PcsProtector scans the computer and creates malware files that are actually fake. The application detects these files as viruses and makes the user believe he has got infected. Then the user gets an offer to purchase PcsProtector that promises to remove the malware files. However, these viruses are not real, so no attention should be paid to the scan results.
Moreover, the Trojan shows different warning messages and alerts, for instance, Spyware Alert!, Infiltration Alert!, or Security Center Alert!. These fake alerts will claim that you have been attacked by a spyware or you are sending some sensitive information to a remote location. PcsProtector also affects Internet Explorer that will display more security alerts when browsing the Internet. These alerts inform the user about purchasing PcsProtector that deletes the detected threats and protects from the further damage to your computer. Please, do not pay attention to any of these messages, just like the scan results. It only tries to trick you that your computer has security problems.
If you have already bought PcsProtector, you’d better remove it once you discover it on your computer. Also contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.
