Remove Protection Center
Updated on Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

As if the current number of rogue anti-spyware out there isn’t bad enough, here comes another threat that goes by the name Protection Center. Like all scareware of its ilk, it will frighten you with all sorts of virus pop-ups, network attack alerts and virus scans that show all sorts of nasty stuff on your PC. The only way to stop it, supposedly, is to pay up for the upgraded version. A piece of advice: don’t pay for it!

All the scans, alerts and others are just a scam to separate you from your money. It’s all smoke and mirrors with fake programs planted in your systems to mimic virus files. Beyond not giving these people your cash, you should go ahead and remove this badware from your system immediately. If it could get in your computer, what’s stopping other malware from doing the same?

Bear in mind though that this one is pretty tricky to remove as it disables many of the security features in your computer. You need to boot into Safe Mode with Networking to be able to get rid of this infection once and for all. Read on for more instructions on how to rid yourself of Protection Center.

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

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. Protection Center 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 Protection Center infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like Protection Center 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 Protection Center 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.
