Are you a sucker for videos? If you are, beware! Some videos are just decoys to lure you into downloading codecs that are actually trojans. Once inside your system, these trojans then let loose dangerous programs like SysProtector.
SysProtector takes the form of a fake anti-spyware that eventually tries to dupe you into purchasing a “full-version” which is actually just a piece of software that does nothing useful.
Of course, SysProtector goes through certain processes to make the need for downloading this so-called “full-version” look genuine enough. You can bet that pop-ups and Windows alert notifications will be among its tricks. It will also create suspicious-sounding files in your Windows system folders, to which it will divert your attention later on in the pop-ups and notifications.
This is one dangerous, good-for-nothing malware because it will create entries in your Windows system registry. You’ll have to remove these entries to regain full control of your system.
After you’ve seen the pop-ups, notifications, and the files mentioned earlier, it would be hard for you to resist the urge to purchase the full version. Lucky for you, you came across this article. Otherwise, you would have ended up just like the others … swindled of their hard-earned dough. For what? Absolutely nothing.
Symptoms Of Infection
- Your computer is acting slow. SysProtector slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.
- You are getting pestered with pop ups. SysProtector 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 SysProtector infection.
Dangers Of Infection
Viruses like SysProtector 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 SysProtector 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.
