Internet Protection Firewall Alert
"Internet Protection Firewall Alert" is the heading of some fake security alert generated by the rogue anti-virus program Internet Protection. Internet Protection is nothing more than a scam, created created to get you to think that your computer is infected with malware that only a paid copy of Internet Protection can remove. Internet Protection's Internet Protection Firewall Alert messages are one way that Internet Protection will try to scare you, to convince you that your PC security is at risk and that Internet Protection can help. Don't buy into the scam!
It is very important to remember that Internet Protection can't detect threats or attacks. So, everything Internet Protection tells you about your computer in the Internet Protection Firewall Alert messages is bogus. In fact, the content of the alerts is the same on every computer infected with Internet Protection, proving that rather than reporting on real threats, the alerts are pre-written, their content incorporated into the malware from the start. You can disregard the Internet Protection Firewall Alerts, since they are only a symptom of infection with Internet Protection, and not indicative of the security of your PC.

How the Alerts Appear, and the Text of the Different Internet Protection Firewall Alerts
When the Internet Protection Firewall Alert pop-ups appear, they will pop-up out of a castle icon in the system tray. This is one way that Internet Protection tries to make itself look realistic, and the castle may even be an attempt to mimic the castle logo for the real anti-virus program Microsoft Security Essentials. The alerts that start with "Internet Protection Firewall Alert" are:

You may notice that these alerts use pretty bad English, which makes sense considering that Internet Protection originated in Russia. Furthermore, what stands out about these alerts is that they don't really give any details on which file is malicious, for example, when Internet Protection was detected, and where Internet Protection is located – information that a real anti-virus program would provide. These alerts even confuse Trojans and worms, two completely different kinds of threats!
These Internet Protection Firewall Alert pop-ups lack even a shred of credibility. So rather than believing what they tell you and panicking, stay calm and remember that these alerts represent malware that you can remove from your computer.
