User Protection Descriptions:
User Protection is a rogueware from the same family as Dr. Guard and Paladin Antivirus. The fake software is designed to look legitimate but, actually, is worth nothing at all. It’s just a trick to make you think your PC is infected and you need to purchase the full version of User Protection.
User Protection is usually installed from fake online scanners, malicious sites, as well as some fake software. The worst thing is that you don’t even have to click to install it yourself, it just gets to your PC as you don’t expect that at all.
Being a very vicious software, User Protection starts scanning your computer every time you boot Windows up. Then it displays messages about the threats found on your machine. These warnings serve as a tool to make you believe you need to purchase the full version of the application. Don’t waste your money and time. User Protection is neither able to detect, nor to remove any threats from your PC. It’s a total scam.
In case, User Protection has crept into your machine, remove it using spyware detection tool. You can also get rid of it manually, following the guidelines provided below.
