Smart Protector is a fraudulent anti-virus program, which imitates the legitimate Smart Protector Pro. Simulating to be a legal security application is one of deceiving methods used by Smart Protector and all this is done to gain a purchase. Trustful computer users are tricked into spending their money for this useless software which can neither scan a PC nor delete some infections.
