How to remove ProtectSoldier?
What is ProtectSoldier?
ProtectSoldier is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as ProtectDefender, ArmorDefender and TRE Antivirus malware. This is another very disturbing software that enters a computer with the help of Trojans that come from misleading websites such as fake online scanners. It claims to scan your PC for malware but the truth is that it actually detects absolutely harmless files as infections and prompts to pay for a full version of the program in order to remove those infections. It also uses browser hijacking, blocks anti-virus software and impersonates Windows Security Center to make this whole scam look more reliable and at the same time protect itself from being removed.
While ProtectSoldier is running you will see several security warnings appear on your desktop warning you that your computer has many security risks or problems. Protect Soldier will also state that your computer is under attack by an internet virus and that currently installed trojan is sending your private information to a remote computer. Just like the fake scan results, fake security alerts or pop-ups are just another method to make you think that you are actually infected. As you can see ProtectSoldier is designed for only one reason – to scam you, whereas the real infection is the rogue program itself. Please don’t purchase this program due to the alerts and false scan results it shows you. Then please use the guide below to remove ProtectSoldier from your PC one and for all.
