What is Spy-protec.com?
Spy-protec.com is a scam website and also a browser hijacker. It directly promotes rogue anti-spyware called Spyware Protect 2009. Users are usually redirected to this noxious website after trojan or similar virus infection. These viruses change default system security and browser settings without user’s knowledge and permission.
Spy-protec.com also allows to perform online anti-virus scan. But actually, it only mimics real online scanner. After the fake scan, it displays various bogus reports stating that user’s PC is infected with malware and spyware. Upwards, scammers advertise the user to buy a full version of SpywareProtect 2009 if he wants to remove all those infections. The truth is that SpywareProtect2009 is an infection itself.
