    System Protector is a powerful tool that helps protect Windows systems from the unexpected spyware attacks/threats. Spyware is a program designed to steal the valuable information and perform harmful activities on users’ systems. System Protector acts as a shield and prevents the system from unwanted intrusions.
    -Systweak

    I have used System Protector for a little over a year. Its real-time protection offers unprecedented protection from all kinds of spyware, adware, and malware. What it does is it scans the system in the background and detects the behavior of all running processes. Relying on artificial intelligence, System Protector alerts the user of any possible intrusions. It is available with Systweak’s Advanced System Optimizer 3 program, or as a standalone. Either way, it is well worth the investment of either $29.95 for ASO3 or $23.96 as a standalone installation.
