Badware Protector is a rogue anti-spyware application. It seems that this parasite was created by the same group of cyber-thieves who had released XP Antivirus. It infiltrates users' system via false and misleading advertisements. BadwareProtector can be described as typical rogue spyware remover, because it uses well known scare tactics in order to achieve it's goals.

Once active, Badware Protector usually performs system scan and shows various infections, usually about privacy and security risks. Obviously that all those infections are counterfeit. They are made up in order to frighten user and make him believe that system is seriously infected. This tactic works very well with inexperienced users. However, trial version of Badware Protector has several limitations and can't remove all the infections, so user has to buy full version. The worst is that full version won't help, because this rogue is simple worthless. We strongly recommend users to remove Badware Protector as soon as possible without any further consideration.
