Updated on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Ever 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!

Symptoms Of Infection

• Your computer is acting slow. APC Protect slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. APC Protect infects your registry and uses it to launch annoying pop up ads out of nowhere.

• Searches are redirected or your homepage and desktop are settings are changed. This is a symptom of a very serious APC Protect infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like APC Protect will infect your registry and other important system files. If the infection is not treated it can cause a complete collapse of your system.

Some APC Protect infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
