What is SysProtector?

SysProtector is a recent clone of the malicious PcsProtector, PCprotectar and other rogue anti-spyware programs belonging to Winisoft. SysProtector may break into the computer system through Trojan infections that can be downloaded with fake video codecs required to watch something online. All this installation is usually done without asking permission, so only when fake system scanners and annoying pop-ups appear PC users notice Sys Protector on their PCs.

Once installed, SysProtector firstly creates some fake random files and drops them in the system. Right after, SysProtector “detects“ these files and announces them as infections. Multiple pop-up ads and alert messages, annoying any computer user, try to convince him that he has the problems that can be solved only with a “full” version of Sys Protector.

SysProtector is not legitimate spyware removal tool and is designed only to swindle the money from trustful PC users. This program should be uninstalled because the longer it stays the more damage it does. Do not under any circumstances purchase and delete the trialware of SysProtector as soon as possible.
