Once Cloud Protection is installed and running, it will perform a fake system scan and find non-existent viruses, to inform the user that his computer is infected with spyware and other viruses. The rogue also displays fake security alerts. These alerts are very similar to genuine Wiindows alerts, so the user can be easily confused. Cloud Protection then suggest to purchase the software in order to remove those infections. However, as you may already guess, you shouldn't pay for it. CloudProtection cannot remove any infections and viruses. It was designed to steal money from people. That's why we strongly recommend you to use removal instructions stated below and to remove Cloud Protection from the system immediately after detection. You can remove it manually, but this rogue can come bundled with rootkits, so we strongly recommend you to use an automatic removal guide below.

SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.
Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like Cloud Protection will not clean any actual infections for free.
Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.
You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like Cloud Protection as it funds development of other computer parasites.
