Wondering why your newly installed antivirus, Your Protection, is asking you to uninstall other antivirus programs like Kaspersky and Avast? The reason is simple. It doesn’t want want to be known for what it really is … a treacherous, deceiving, fake antispyware.
So Your Protection is a scam? You bet it is. Just like other fake anti-spyware, Your Protection finds its way into your computer through trojans downloaded from malicious websites. That’s why we always discourage our readers from downloading anything from obscure sites. Most trojans are disguised as useful freebies that easily attract gullible users.
Your Protection hijacks computers by messing up the Windows system registry. It does this to have full control immediately after your next boot up. Once it’s inside, expect scans and popups that indicate the presence of rogue malware. Of course, all of these are fake; simply designed to scare you into purchasing a so-called full version.
The full version of Your Protection won’t do anything useful. Rather, all it will do is dupe you into spending your hard-earned money. Even worse, it will force you to reveal your credit card information, which by itself, is a dangerous practice altogether. Get rid of Your Protection while you still can.
Symptoms Of Infection
- Your computer is acting slow. Your Protection slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.
- You are getting pestered with pop ups. Your Protection 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 Your Protection infection.
Dangers Of Infection
Viruses like Your Protection 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 Your Protection 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.
