SysProtector Image

SysProtector is a rogue anti-spyware application that is distributed by Trojans disguised as useful video codec downloads or flash updates. The Trojans modify victims' registries to ensure that SysProtector is automatically executed each time Windows is started. A number of harmless files are also created in the Windows and Windows\System32 folders. These files are later detected as dangerous malware when a fake system scan is run by SysProtector. Users should ignore all scan reports and virus alerts displayed by SysProtector as they are all fake. The "full version" of SysProtector should never be purchased, it is a useless application.

The cyber fraudsters create huge families of rogue security programs. SysProtector is part of the FakeSmoke family that has among its other members WiniFighter, WiniShield, SaveKeep, SaveKeeper, SoftSafeness, TrustWarrior, WiniGuard, SecurityFighter, Security Soldier, SecureVeteran, Secure Warrior, Trust Cop, Safe Fighter, Trust Soldier, Virus Protector, BlockDefense, Security Soldier, TrustNinja, SaveDefense, SystemCop.
