apc protectEver heard of fake antivirus programs? APC Protect is one of them. It is actually a malware hiding underneath what looks like a helpful antivirus application. Using trojans, APC Protect enters your computer system through utility tools, codecs, drivers, mp3s files, or a ‘trial version’ of the APC Protect program.

Once inside your system, it takes over by altering the Windows registry. This enables it to have control even starting from boot up. Thus, its evil activities are carried out unhindered. In fact, in very serious cases, APC Protect can disable your legitimate antivirus programs to avoid being detected.

Be prepared to be plagued with nagging pop-ups and notifications, which are among its irritating qualities. These pop-ups and notifications will always warn you that your system has been hijacked by dangerous malware. We now know who the hijacker really is – APC Protect.

If you’re gullible enough, you could even be duped into purchasing a so-called full version of this fake antivirus. That’s where things get from bad to worse. Not only will your system run slower, you’ll also end up spending on something that’s really malware. There’s no doubt about it … APC Protect is one nasty program that you need to remove pronto!
