How to remove TrustedProtection?
What is TrustedProtection?
TrustedProtection is a rogue anti-spyware program (a clone of TrustedAntivirus and some others). It is usually installed by Trojans, disguised as media codecs. This parasite, while being somewhat less notorious than others, is no different than at all. In fact, it works exactly the same way: when infected you will be bombarded by endless popups and system notifications "warning" you of an infection. When you are at the point of going postal, you are presented with a solution – TrustedProtection – the self-proclaimed all-in-one application, supposedly more capable than any other at dispose of all your worries.
However tempting it may be, do NOT trust this program: while you may or may not be infected, TrustedProtection doesn’t have the ability to inform you of that. The threats are likely false and the program is most definitely a fake with the sole purpose of intimidating you into buying it.
TrustedProtection’s website gives me the impression that I’ve seen it somewhere before and indeed I have: TrustedAntivirus’ homepage looks exactly the same and there were some older parasites with exactly the same design. There is no contact information, as is expected of these scams, the content isn’t informative (and it can’t be, since it’s been copied and pasted so many times already) and the domain is registered to someone without a name – hardly surprising and equally hardly legitimate.
TrustedProtection is a scam and should NOT be trusted: do NOT download or buy it and block trustedprotection.com using your HOSTS file.

TrustedProtection 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 TrustedProtection can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads TrustedProtection trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, TrustedProtection offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, TrustedProtection 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.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as TrustedProtection, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
