SpyProtector is a typical corrupt security tool. It is promoted as a spyware remover but uses malicious tactics to spread. Spy Protector is installed by Vundo and other trojans. These trojans are usually disguised as video codecs so people voluntarily download and install them. SpyProtector is also distributed via online advertisements that pretend to be security reports. If you encounter Spy Protector pop-ups while browsing the web, keep in mind that there’s no way to scan a computer from web without your permission, therefore every message loaded by SpyProtector adds is fabricated.
SpyProtector uses fraudulent ways to get on users computers; this reason alone should be enough for not trusting this software. However, Spy Protector gives you more reasons to hate it.
SpyProtector has no option to uninstall this tool. It imitates a computer scan and attacks people with fabricated security messages. All the alerts are falsified and shouldn’t be trusted. Spy Protector uses scare tactics to gain users’ trust and money. Using an infected computer might be very difficult because Spy Protector interrupts all activities and loads large amounts of pop-ups. Do not purchase SpyProtector and block its website spyprotector.org using your HOSTS file.

SpyProtector is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only SpyProtector can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SpyProtector trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SpyProtector offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SpyProtector does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SpyProtector, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SpyProtector, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SpyProtector, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
